Property Description

This is a home you don't simply own. You become part of its story. Set on more than four acres and surrounded by the beauty of Vermont's countryside, this remarkable Federal-style brick home is filled with the kind of character that simply cannot be recreated. Hand-hewn beams, exposed brick, wide pine floors, original cast crown moldings, 18th-century door hardware and five Rumford-style fireplaces with polished marble surrounds offer reminders of the generations who have called this property home. Historic charm is balanced by thoughtful updates, including a stainless-steel kitchen with custom granite countertops, a walk-in butler's pantry and three beautifully updated, custom-tiled bathrooms. There is still an opportunity to add your own finishing touches making this an especially compelling property for someone who appreciates preservation, craftsmanship and the chance to put their own mark on an extraordinary home. Outside, the property's history as a former dairy farm continues to show. Rich soils support established fruit trees, elderberries, rhubarb, blackberries, horseradish and more, with conserved land along the property creating a beautiful natural backdrop. Garden, homestead, create a small farm, explore the potential for an ADU, or simply enjoy having room to breathe. And then there is the hayloft. Featured in *The New York Times*, the second-story 1950s hayloft was transformed into an indoor ice hockey rink for winter and becomes an incredible indoor recreation space during the warmer months. Whether it is hockey practice, rainy-day games, gatherings with friends or something entirely your own it is the kind of space that turns a house into the home everyone remembers. Located approximately 25 minutes from Burlington and 30 minutes from Middlebury, this is a property for someone looking for more than square footage. It is history, land, possibility and a distinctly Vermont way of life all waiting for its next chapter. *Seller is a licensed VT Realtor
