Outside, the generous lawn provides ample room for gardens, outdoor entertaining, and family games. Inside, the thoughtfully updated kitchen with a cozy breakfast nook blends seamlessly with the home's grand formal dining room, creating the perfect balance of historic charm and modern convenience. The spacious living room and elegant parlor offer inviting spaces to relax, gather, or entertain guests. The first-floor primary bedroom and three generously sized bedrooms upstairs, provide comfortable accommodations for a growing family, visiting guests, or flexible home office space. Rich in history, architectural detail, and timeless character, this exceptional property offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Vermont's heritage while enjoying the comforts of everyday living.
