240 Towne Hill Road

About this home

Perched above Montpelier on nearly an acre, this beautifully renovated 1848 farmhouse is a rare blend of timeless character, modern comfort, and breathtaking surroundings. Once part of the renowned Phillips Farm, which encompassed both sides of Towne Hill Road, this stately homestead offers a special opportunity to own a piece of local history, just moments from downtown. A welcoming wraparound porch sets the stage, with lovely views of the mountains and Camel's Hump. Inside, the heart of the home is an inviting country kitchen featuring tile and slate floors, stone countertops, abundant storage, and the kind of character that makes you want to linger over morning coffee and dinners with friends. The dining room is filled with natural light, featuring large windows and a wood pellet stove, while two additional rooms offer flexible space for an office, guest room, or cozy retreat, complete with 3/4 bathroom. The light-filled front living room provides a comfortable gathering space, and the bonus living room/library invites you to curl up beside the wood stove with a good book among the built-in bookshelves. Upstairs are four bedrooms and a spacious bathroom with a charming clawfoot tub. A conveniently located laundry room near the entry also provides an optional entrance to the apartment above the garage. The fully equipped and turnkey apartment offers one to two bedrooms, a full bathroom, kitchen, and open living area, with its own private exterior entrance, ideal for guests, multigenerational living, or additional income. The three-bay garage provides abundant storage, while a garden shed leads around to a covered back patio overlooking the expansive lawn, gardens, and fire pit. A peaceful place to gather, garden, entertain, or simply enjoy the changing seasons. With its historic soul and exceptional setting, this is more than a house; it's a place to put down roots, make memories, and fall in love with your home. Open House Saturday, October 17, from 11AM to 1PM.
