Townshend, Vermont, is a small Southern Vermont town with a welcoming community and easy access to outdoor recreation. Seasonal farmers’ markets and Friday-night pizza gatherings bring residents and visitors together, while the surrounding West River Valley offers a relaxed setting for exploring the region. Townshend State Park and Townshend State Forest provide access to the Bald Mountain Trail, camping, birdwatching, and scenic routes ranging from gentle lakeside walks to steeper climbs and waterfall hikes. Townshend Lake and Dam are popular for swimming, fishing, and boating, and the area’s varied habitats support waterfowl, songbirds, raptors, and migratory birds. The Scott Covered Bridge, which spans the West River, is recognized as Vermont’s longest single-span covered bridge. Grace Cottage Hospital has served the community as a prominent healthcare provider and regional employer since 1949. Jamaica State Park is only minutes away, while the nearby ski resorts of Stratton, Mount Snow, Bromley, and Magic offer convenient winter recreation. Townshend is also about a 25-minute drive from Interstate 91, making it accessible while retaining the character and quiet of a rural Vermont community.
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.
