About This Home
Motivated seller! Price drop! A rare piece of Vermont history, thoughtfully preserved for modern living. Dating to 1790, this distinguished brick and frame Colonial stands as a testament to early New England craftsmanship — and it's ready for its next chapter. Meticulously maintained over the centuries and updated where it counts, this two-story home offers the warmth of wide-plank hardwood and softwood floors, the peace of mind of updated electrical and heating systems, and the curb appeal of a classic standing seam roof and fresh paint throughout. Recent windows flood the interior with natural light while preserving the home's timeless character. Whether you're drawn by the historic details or the practical updates, this property is move-in ready from day one. The kitchen is showstopping with a seamless blend repurposed materials. It exudes character and charm. The attached 1 car garage — complete with a dedicated storage room/workshop area and a massive open attic accessible from both levels — offers flexible space for a workshop, studio, or expansion. A property of this age rarely offers this much functional square footage. Positioned conveniently off Exit 9, commuting to the Upper Valley and beyond is effortless. The commercial zoning potential makes this an exceptional opportunity for buyers seeking a live-work arrangement, professional office space, or a savvy investment in one of Vermont's most storied small towns. Historic character. Modern comfort. Extraordinary potential.
