About this home
Development potential! A rare opportunity to own a single-family home on 6.8 acres within Williston’s Village Zoning District. In the heart of historic Williston Village, this property offers an exceptionally large and usable lot with exciting possibilities in a location where acreage like this is hard to find. Just across the street from the Williston Community Center and Village Green, enjoy easy access to ice skating, volleyball, soccer, biking and hiking trails, summer concerts, and even a front row seat to the Fourth of July parade from your own covered porch. Williston Central School and Dorothy Alling Memorial Library are also just a stone’s throw away. The renovated home has a bonus room for additional space, is filled with natural light and features a newer roof and appliances, and a boiler replaced in 2015. A Vermont Castings wood stove creates a warm and inviting atmosphere on cold winter nights. The kitchen includes a convenient breakfast bar, while the fully renovated bathroom features a jetted soaking tub and separate shower. An all in one washer and dryer optimizes space and convenience. Outside, the expansive backyard provides plenty of room for recreation, gardening, entertaining, or exploring future possibilities. A back patio area is perfect for summer grilling, while the 16' x 12' shed provides additional storage. Combining acreage, updates, and an exceptional village location, this property offers a truly unique opportunity in Williston.
Williston Village Historic District, located between Williston Road and North Williston Road, is a historic and walkable Essex Junction neighborhood with a classic village green and a tight grid of sidewalks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Williston Road and North Williston Road junction, where small storefronts, civic buildings, and porch-front homes set a steady, lived-in rhythm. Architectural cues lean toward 19th-century village forms—gabled roofs, clapboard siding, and deep front porches—mixed with modest infill. The village green and nearby public buildings anchor community routines and seasonal gatherings. A short drive connects to larger retail corridors, while the district itself stays oriented to local streets and landmarks.

Village District
The Village is a mixed-use zoning district that accommodates a variety of dwelling typologies including single- and multi-dwelling buildings, a mix of commercial uses including artisanalscale industrial uses, and institutions like churches, schools, and local government. Its primary purpose is to preserve and support the Williston Village Historic Overlay District within its boundaries. The Village aims to protect the historic character of the village center, encourage adaptive re-use, support diverse housing options, and introduce varied architectural styles. This chapter allows for new additions, new structure, and infill development that compliments the overall historic character, but are products of their own architectural era.
