1721 Bayley Hazen Rd, Peacham, VT 05862

This historic Peacham home has been lovingly cared for and thoughtfully maintained by the same family since 1964. The first title holder to the land was former Governor Maddox, then sold to Josiah and Lydia Shedd who built the house around 1830. The property consists of 29.5+/- acres and features a private pond, perennial gardens, stone walls, 2 barns, shed, and small guest cottage. From the front porch you will walk into the family room that was paneled in 1965 with wood from only one tree, and has a large fireplace. The main level also offers a U-shaped kitchen with pantry and new stove, formal dining room, beautifully paneled living room with fireplace, library, half bath, and laundry room. The second level has the primary bedroom suite with private bath and dressing room, plus an additional room with antique wood stove, 3 additional bedrooms, and another full bath. The 3rd level is finished attic space that was once used to host dances and the local chapter of Masons. There are many little details that make this home special, such as period fixtures, a large front lock and wire door bell that were originally from the Peacham Store (1805) or the cabinet in the laundry room that was owned by Admiral George Dewey from Montpelier. Recent metal roof, attached garage and circular driveway. This house is a great example of a quintessential Vermont home that makes Peacham the charming town that it is. Listed on The National Register of Historic Places. More photos available.
