About This Home

Located in the desirable Green Peak Orchard, this exceptional custom Greek Revival residence is set on 9.9 private acres surrounded by mature landscaping, stone walls, and terraces. Thoughtfully designed with timeless craftsmanship, the home features wide-plank floors, hand-plastered walls and ceilings, custom moldings, historic reproduction lighting, and finely crafted wainscoting and cabinetry. Slate and copper roofs, along with Vermont marble and soapstone, enhance the home’s distinctive character. A welcoming brick-floored mudroom opens to the heart of the home—an expansive, sun-filled chef’s kitchen with butler’s pantry, dining area, and bar, all with direct access to a charming kitchen garden for fresh herbs and seasonal blooms. The adjoining keeping room with fireplace flows seamlessly into a rustic family/sunroom highlighted by a striking Vermont fieldstone fireplace. French doors from both spaces open to a gracious slate terrace, creating ideal indoor-outdoor living. A book-lined library offers a quiet retreat, while a first-floor bedroom with en suite bath provides comfort and flexibility for guests. Upstairs, the primary suite features a spacious spa-like bath. Three additional bedrooms and two full baths offer ample accommodations. Radiant heat throughout ensures year-round comfort. The grounds are equally impressive, with curated landscaping, stonework, outdoor shower, and hot tub for relaxing under the stars. Completing the property is a two-story attached party barn/workshop, an attached two-car garage with loft storage and attached garden shed. A rare offering combining classic New England elegance with modern comfort—must be seen to be fully appreciated. All measurements approximate.
