About this home
The Dewey House joins timeless elegance with contemporary convenience. Situated on a quiet road adjacent to the Quechee Gorge waterfall in the charming town of Quechee, this property offers easy access to I-89, I-91, and Route 4. Nearby walking trails and direct water access lend themselves to outdoor pursuits, while the views from the house and its decks over the mill pond and hills create the perfect place to visit with friends, relax to the soothing sounds of the waterfall, or watch for eagles and hot air balloons. Whether you intend to run this as a private home, a short-term rental, or a B & B, you'll love being on this gracious property. Enter through the front door to an expansive foyer. To the left is the double-sized living room, which opens to the dining room. Beyond that, there is a study and a bathroom. To the right of the front door, you'll find a small sitting area, and then the expansive kitchen/breakfast room and deck access. Upstairs are the bedrooms, sitting rooms, and bathrooms. The second floor features an elegant office/sitting room/bedroom and bath on one end, two bedrooms and a bath on the other. The bifurcated third floor features two bedrooms and a bathroom accessible via one staircase, and an en-suite bedroom accessible via the other. All of the rooms enjoy views of the Vermont hills and blue sky, most overlooking the water. Many recent updates bring this antique treasure up to modern standards while preserving the historic integrity of this home.
The AG Dewey house was built in 1876 as a 1½ story cape. AG Dewey was the founder/partner of Dewey’s Mills established in 1837. The woolen mill had 63 buildings and, in its grandeur, employed over 200 people. As the Dewey family grew the house expanded; renovated in 1903 the house became the stately Colonial Revival it is today. Due to the historic and architectural significance, the house was added to the National Register of Historic Places. Established perennial gardens enhance the beauty of this lovely home. Stepping over the threshold takes one back in time. Raised paneling, ornamental stair case, antique chandlers, and hardwood floors are what you notice when entering into this magnificent home. Large living room with soapstone wood stove will keep you warm on chilly nights. Formal dining and den with bathroom are around the corner. Continue beyond the dining room into the kitchen and to the family room, from there you have access to the laundry room and deck to enjoy views of the pond, river and wildlife. The owner’s suite is on the second level, which consists of a sitting and dressing room, fireplace and private porch. There are two additional bedrooms, and bathroom. On the third level are two more bedrooms, bathroom, along with one en suite bedroom. This amazing property is filled with history from yesteryear. The house has been updated over time, although much of the charm and character remains. A step back in time, with the conveniences of modern day living.
