About this home
Two year-round homes for the price of one on 20 acres! This property offers nearly 3000 sq ft of multi-generational living, short or long term rental or a home office/studio. Each home has separate utilities, except for a shared well. The MAIN HOUSE is an updated circa 1825, 3 bedroom, 1612 +/- sq ft post and beam cape on a full concrete foundation with a standing seam metal roof. The kitchen is open to the dining room which is next to a spacious living room with wide pine plank floors and exposed beams throughout the home. A bedroom, full bathroom, laundry, and pantry complete the 1st floor. Two big bedrooms fill up the 2nd floor. A large entertainer's deck was added to enjoy the backyard view, apple and pear trees, lilacs and farm animals. There are 2 goat/livestock barns, 3 chicken coops and a chainlink fenced area off the house. The 1325 +/- sq ft post and beam GUEST HOUSE with its own driveway was originally built in 2018 on a concrete foundation with a metal roof. It underwent a complete renovation to a year-round home in 2022 and included spray foam insulation, new electric and plumbing, and a State approved Presby septic system to accommodate 2 bedrooms, but there is currently only one loft bedroom. It's a short-term rental with a great source of supplemental income for the homeowner. Both homes are hardwired for generators. Just past the property, the road turns to Class 4. There are VAST and ATV trails nearby. Opportunities! Seller prefers to close mid August.

Bought with Sherrol Potvin• Green Light Real Estate - Barre
Some lucky buyer is going to not only get a beautiful and historic home but a brand new 32 x 24 two-story post and beam work-shop/studio that is almost completely finished! The adorable yellow cape has been lovingly maintained and updated over time and yet all the vintage charm is still there. Original beams are exposed and burnished with the beautiful patina of age. Softwood floors throughout, open floor plan in the living spaces, big wood stove and a very cute open fireplace and brick hearth. Wood and soapstone counters in the kitchen. There is a first floor bedroom and bath and the laundry also conveniently located on the first floor. Cute walk-in pantry and a lovely deck off the dining room. The house has a new standing seam roof and new bulkhead door. Several of the 20 acres have just been cleared and all the tree stumps removed so it is now a beautiful field and could be perfect for horses, goats or other farm animals. The gardening possibilities are infinite, with several producing apple and pear trees and a currant bush already in place and producing. All it needs is a gardener's touch to turn out vegetables and flowers of all types.
