Step into a piece of Jamaica Village history. Once home to the F.E. Smith Dry Goods, Ready-Made Clothing, and Grocery Store, this distinctive red-and-white building blends Greek Revival presence with Vermont farmhouse character and now serves as a year-round residence filled with history and personality. The classic façade features full-width double-decker porches, white picket railing, and bold corner pilasters. Inside, this C. 1860 building’s commercial past lives on in a dramatic great room with original built-in storefront shelving and drawer banks once used to display dry goods. Now a unique library, studio and sitting area, the space features wide-plank wood floors, exposed beams, and natural light from the original storefront windows and door. A vintage interior sash window adds another unexpected architectural detail. The kitchen features sage cabinetry, granite tile counters, a pot rack, sunny breakfast area, and walk-in pantry. A cozy living and dining room offers a comfortable gathering space, while upstairs bedrooms retain original wide pine floors and vintage details. Both bathrooms have been updated, and the oil tank, on-demand hot water heater, pressure tank, and well pump have all been recently replaced. Garden beds and a painted harlequin porch floor add personality outside, while the covered porch invite you to enjoy morning coffee and the rhythm of village life. A rare opportunity to own a property with a story to tell and the potential to make it your own. Buyers who appreciate historic homes and are comfortable with a project will find opportunities to build on its existing character.
