About this home

Perched in the heart of Plainfield, is a rare opportunity to own a remarkable 1840s farmhouse. This beautifully maintained property showcases the architectural detail of the past, while boasting the comforts of modern living. Sited on just over 7 acres, this multi-dwelling property is your woodland escape, offering 100+ privacy hedges, a wildflower meadow, a stone wall, and even a swimming pond and brand-new dock. This brick home spans at 3,600+ sq. ft. There is ample space to gather and celebrate - or simply take in Vermont’s signature calm. A screened porch welcomes you into a recently renovated kitchen, with soapstone countertops, new appliances, and a large walk-in pantry. The adjoining dining area is sun drenched with sprawling windows. Luminous interiors, original wide plank flooring, and an incredibly flexible floor plan let each room unfold naturally into the next. Two separate staircases add privacy and flexibility. The owners currently use the home as a four-bedroom, with an additional library, home office, and separate gym space off the kitchen. Two newly renovated full bathrooms offer a spa-like experience, with marble countertops, a clawfoot tub, and beautiful marble limestone tile. Pearl push-button light switches punctuate the walls, while unlacquered brass bathroom fittings bring quiet craftsmanship and timeless patina. A Morso wood-burning fireplace anchors the living room. Two additional gas stoves will keep you warm in the coldest months. As if that weren’t enough, there is a 4-bay heated garage, with custom doors and concrete floors, perfect for storage or a workshop. Above the garage is a 1,100+/- sf apartment with a stylish kitchen, remodeled bathroom, and a serene living space. Ideal for rental income or long stays from visiting family, this home is turn-key. Whether you’re dreaming of a private homestead, a multi-generational family property, or an income generating opportunity, this magical compound is everything you’ve been waiting for.
