Modern Luxury Meets Historic Soul: 2015 Rebuilt 1800s Farmhouse Experience a masterfully reimagined piece of Vermont history. Originally an 1800s farmhouse, this home underwent a comprehensive, foundation-up reconstruction in 2015, blending timeless character with 21st-century performance. This 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath estate offers 2,400 plus sq. ft. of refined above-grade living, plus a fully finished basement. The home features gleaming hardwood floors throughout—no carpet—and custom tile work in every bathroom. The heart of the home is a culinary masterpiece with custom cherry cabinetry, authentic soapstone countertops, and an oversized, custom-crafted ash butcher block island. A sprawling wrap-around addition invites natural light into the open-flow layout. Engineered for the Vermont climate, the home boasts a high-efficiency on-demand boiler for endless hot water and precision heat. Encased in spray foam insulation and managed by a dedicated home air exchanger (HRV), this property ensures superior air quality and remarkably low utility costs. Modern conveniences include central vac and high-capacity HVAC. The grounds are as thoughtfully curated as the home itself. Set on three scenic acres, the property features sweeping lawns framed by mature hardwoods, flowering ornamental trees, and established perennial gardens that provide vibrant color throughout the growing season. A classic Vermont landscape unfolds with winding garden beds, natural stone borders, and blooming tulips, daffodils, and hydrangeas that surround the home and outdoor living spaces. A gently rolling meadow leads to a tranquil pond and wooded edge, creating a private natural backdrop rich with wildlife and seasonal beauty. Expansive open lawns provide ample space for recreation, gardening, or simply enjoying the quiet countryside. This property offers a peaceful oasis just minutes from Malletts Bay and Burlington. Why settle for a cookie-cutter build when you can own a turn-key piece of history?
