A piece of Vermont history! Originally the one-room brick Soule School of Fairfield, this charming property has been thoughtfully transformed into a unique home on 3 tranquil acres. A newer two-story addition welcomes you with a timber-frame-style covered porch leading to a spacious mudroom, modern ¾ bath with laundry, bonus room, and abundant storage. The sunny kitchen with a walk-in pantry opens to a covered grilling porch and dining area with access to a second porch overlooking the expansive lawn and large apple tree. The impressive 25' x 25' former schoolroom features plentiful windows, the original front entry and closets, plus a Vermont Iron Stove Works "Elm" wood stove complemented by a monitor heater. Upstairs, the spacious primary bedroom stretches across the entire second floor, highlighted by a striking arched window with treetop views. Two custom walk-in closets, a bonus room, and a second ¾ bath complete the upstairs space. An insulated walkout crawl space provides easy access below for storage and utilities. Outside, established perennial flower gardens, fruit trees, and nature paths twist through the yard. Enjoy a chicken coop with two resident hens, a woodshed, and three entries to the large driveway surrounding the hilltop setting on a corner lot. Conveniently located just 10 minutes to St. Albans, 15 minutes to Cambridge and the mountain recreation beyond, with the beloved East Fairfield Meeting House on the Green nearby for concerts and community dinners. A truly one-of-a-kind Vermont home where history, character, and comfort come together!

This primitive 1900's schoolhouse in the heart of Fairfield is awaiting its next owner. On the corner of South Road and Buck Hollow you'll find a charming brick facade farmhouse with abundant character and charm. In recent years a stunning post and beam addition was constructed adding a beautiful primary suite with vaulted ceilings, custom walk in closets, and hard surface flooring. This home has so much to offer with a large and functional country kitchen including a huge walk in pantry. The large and light filled living room features a wood stove for those cold Vermont winter days upon us. The main floor has a new bathroom, an office room, and mudroom. Upstairs is where you will find the primary suite, another bathroom, and an additional room for whichever you choose. A large 3 acre corner lot offers privacy and room for your homestead or recreational desires.
