About this home
Welcome to a truly magical slice of Vermont, where timeless charm meets modern living in this beautifully updated, contractor-owned post & beam farmhouse. Full of character—from exposed beams to too many thoughtful upgrades to count—this 4-bedroom, 2-bath home is a rare blend of historic soul and today’s comforts. At the heart of the home is a fully renovated 2025 kitchen with quartz countertops, pot filler, new appliances, and a generous center island with wood countertop. Just off the kitchen, the first-floor primary suite offers easy living with a walk-in closet and full bathroom newly remodeled in 2025. The cozy living room invites quiet nights and flows to a serene back deck with retractable awning, overlooking a fenced yard perfect for gardening, pets, or play. Upstairs, discover two light-filled bedrooms and a loft-style en-suite with an updated ¾ bath, offering a retreat-like feel. Step outside and the magic continues—across the street, your own swimmable stretch of river is ideal for fly fishing, tubing, and summer evenings around the firepit with s’mores under the stars. Just 7 minutes from the vibrant town of Bristol—and only 10 minutes to Middlebury, 35 to Shelburne, and 42 to Williston—this location offers the perfect mix of peaceful privacy and convenience. The property also features a owned solar panels, a detached two-car garage with a workshop, walking trail, outdoor shower, & beautiful landscaping. This is a truly special retreat where every season shines!

Quaint and classic, this post and beam farmhouse has been a solid home for many years and now it's your turn to call this place home! Plenty of space inside with both a living room and a family room, a kitchen adjacent to the dining room, a small first floor bedroom and full bath. Three bedrooms upstairs, one is a suite with a private bathroom. Outside is where the fun begins with plenty of spaces for gardens, berry bushes and rhubarb already growing and hundreds of feet of frontage on the New Haven River across the road! Fly fish, skinny dip or tube down the river - whatever floats your boat! You can store your "beach toys" in the storage shed on the river side of the road and park your cars in the two car garage on the house side! New oil tank, new water heater and new electric box all installed in 2020. Solar panels for water heater installed in 2011. Lots of improvements to this house since the owners bought it in 1988 with a 1 seater outhouse out back! The house is ready to go, sellers already have a house to move to and can be ready to go quickly.
