Description
Built in 1786 and tastefully restored in the early 1970's to maintain its historic character and feel, this is one of the most historic homes in Southern Vermont. Originally built by Eliakim Demming on land confiscated from Tories loyal to the crown shortly after the Revolutionary War, the house and a detached barn / garage sit on a corner lot and bordered by South Village Pond with views of Mount Aeolus. Swim and canoe off private dock. Incredible 'character' is an understatement, and there are too many fascinating features to include here but suffice to say, if you're looking for a magnificent Antique this has to be seen! There's a first floor Master with adjoining dressing room and 3/4 bath. Just off the kitchen and pantry is the large Dining Room and two sitting rooms beyond. You'll get to the 3 bedrooms upstairs and attic that was once the tavern sleeping quarters by taking the original center staircase made from solid timber treads with wear that tells of a storied past one can only imagine! In addition to the detached post and beam barn, there's an original attached barn/garage for a myriad of uses. All of the chimneys were redone during the renovation. A must see property for the any Antique enthusiast. All measurements approximate.
