About this home
There are homes you renovate, and there are homes that inspire you. This charming 1850s Vermont farmhouse is the kind of place that invites you to slow down, embrace its history, and make it your own. Just minutes from the heart of Cabot Village, it offers timeless character, a peaceful setting, and endless potential for someone who appreciates the beauty of an old home. Morning coffee on the screened porch comes with the sound of the brook and views of colorful perennial gardens. Inside, wide pine floors, a classic tin ceiling, and warm natural light create spaces that feel welcoming in every season. The kitchen has plenty of room to gather around the table, while the living room is the perfect spot to unwind beside the wood stove after a day exploring Vermont. The former summer kitchen has been thoughtfully transformed into a cozy library or home office with built-in bookshelves, its own wood stove, and a direct vent propane heater. Whether you're working remotely, reading your favorite novel, or simply enjoying a quiet afternoon, it's a room you'll find yourself returning to again and again. Upstairs are three comfortable bedrooms and a full bath. The primary bedroom offers space for a sitting area, The second bedroom has plenty of space for a full-size bed. The third bedroom can accommodate a twin bed and is currently being used as an artist's studio and overlooks a beautiful apple tree. Recent updates, including a newer roof on the main house and study, along with furnace and insulation improvements, provide a solid foundation for future updates. Outside, you'll also find a covered front porch, attached woodshed, private well, public sewer, clapboard siding, and the convenience of a paved road. Located just minutes from Cabot's school, library, grocery store, hardware store, and beloved village amenities, this is more than a fixer-upper. It's an opportunity to restore a piece of Vermont history and create a home filled with stories for generations to come.
