About this home
Interested in owning an historic home in a truly amazing natural setting overlooking a waterfall and multiple swimming holes? The 4 bedroom & 2 bath "Mill House" dates back to 1844 and sits on an absolutely stunning 2.9 acre property that is adorned with extensive gardens, and stone stairs down to Waterman Brook and waterfall. The home, which is listed on the Vermont Historic Registry, has a ground floor bedroom, bathroom, and a cozy living room that is adjacent to an oversized deck that looks down to the waterfall, babbling brook, and swimming holes. There are two sets of stairs up to the 2nd floor for the home, one from the kitchen, and one from the main living area. Upstairs features 3 bedrooms and a jack-and-jill bathroom. There also is a 1 bay attached garage with ample work space and a 368 square foot heated bonus room above the garage that would make for an excellent office or, with further improvements, an accessory apartment. This property is elevated far above the Waterman Brook and not in a flood zone.

The enchanting Mill House is an 1840s residence that features an artists studio above the attached barn/garage, expansive deck, screened porch, and sunny den. Originally the bunk house for mill crews, it is listed on the Vermont Historic Registry. Its 2.9 acre lot fronts the Waterman Brook waterfalls that powered lumber mills dating back to the 18th century. Stone foundations of a 19th century mill remain. Most of the house has been meticulously updated to include a modern kitchen with bamboo flooring, granite countertops, and a sunny breakfast nook. A new propane furnace heats the house. A Vermont Soapstone insert in the fieldstone fireplace makes the wood paneled living room especially cozy in the winter. The remodeled downstairs bath has radiant floor heating and a stone tiled oversized shower. Almost every room of this unique home affords breathtaking views & soothing sounds. Extensive stone stairs and walls lace the broad lawns & gardens Click VIRTUAL TOUR for VIDEO
