Around every corner is a little treasure, each detail holding its own story and purpose. A lifetime of memories have been made here, and it’s ready for the next chapter.

Highlights include:

• Historic charm meets modern updates: Original pumpkin heart pine floors, hand-blown glass doorknobs, Marvin windows, and a combination of standing seam and slate roofs preserve the home’s rich heritage
• Thoughtfully designed living spaces: Exposed beams and a Vermont Castings wood stove warm the living room. The chef’s kitchen features custom cabinetry built from 1840s pine reclaimed from the property, Bluestar appliances, and marble countertops, blending function with history
• Exceptional outdoor amenities: Enjoy a screened porch, multiple patios for entertaining, eight raised garden beds, a cedar-lined sauna, and mature perennial gardens including chemical-free fruit trees that burst with seasonal abundance
• Versatile outbuildings: A cedar-sided guest cottage, detached three bay garage with storage loft, multiuse barn with insulated woodshop, and original brick smokehouse offer flexibility, charm, and practical utility

Modern systems include underground electricity (EV ready), Starlink internet, propane heating with minisplits, and 40 solar panels. These upgrades provide convenience and sustainability without compromising the home’s historic soul.

Located just 1.5 miles from the heart of Vergennes and surrounded by conserved land, this peaceful retreat offers privacy, mountain views, and access to a mooring at Kingsland Bay. This is not just a home. It is a place where life unfolds with intention, beauty, and meaning.
