The home began as a historic barn before being carefully moved to its current site and transformed into a warm, character-filled residence that truly embodies classic Vermont vernacular style. Inside, you’ll find soaring ceilings, exposed beams, and rich wood textures, along with two woodstoves that create cozy gathering spaces and add to the home’s rustic charm. With ample room to spread out and a flexible layout, the home offers endless possibilities for living, entertaining, or retreating in comfort. The large parcel provides a peaceful, natural setting just moments from the Green Mountain National Forest and the East Dorset Trailhead, while still being convenient to local Southern Vermont amenities and the charm of a quintessential New England town. Offering privacy, character, and expansive spaces, this home is ready for its next chapter and is being sold as is. Bring your vision, paint brush, and tasteful modernizations to make it your own. A new septic tank adds valuable peace of mind, and the home is priced below town assessment, presenting a compelling opportunity.
