What’s old is new again in this beautifully reimagined home, thoughtfully rebuilt from the studs up to meet modern living standards while preserving its timeless charm. Fully reinsulated and intelligently reconfigured, the property blends character with comfort at every turn. Newly added downstairs windows frame sweeping eastern mountain views and southern valley vistas, filling the home with natural light. A tiled corner mudroom provides practical, stylish space for seasonal gear and everyday essentials. Inside, you’ll find stunning original floors, a restored banister, and classic fir stair treads that showcase the home’s historic appeal. Set on 3.5 level acres, the property features an expansive east-facing deck off the kitchen and dining area—perfect for taking in breathtaking Green Mountain views. Thoughtful exterior improvements include perimeter drainage to the eastern field and rebuilt cellar window dry wells for peace of mind. The full basement offers abundant bonus space and storage, including laundry and home gym. There is a new metal porch roof and low-maintenance composite shutters designed to match the home’s period style. Comfort is ensured year-round with an oil boiler, a Vermont Castings propane stove in the living room, and a Mitsubishi 18, 000 BTU heat pump for supplemental heat and cooling. All this plus two bedroom suites – one on each floor! Ideally located just 4 minutes from Cornwall School and 8 minutes from Middlebury College, the setting is enhanced by a picturesque spruce grove to the west and graceful willows to the south—offering both convenience and natural beauty.
