Description:

Step back in time without sacrificing modern comfort in this remarkable two-family home dating back to 1776. Originally located on Broad Street, the home was moved to its current site in the late 19th century. This home was built as a multi-generational family home and with minimal effort, the home could be converted to a single-family residence by removing a plank wall, as originally designed. The current owners have meticulously and authentically restored their side using specialized preservation techniques that honor the home's historical integrity while introducing thoughtful updates. Constructed with post-and-beam framing, the home retains its wide pumpkin pine floors, horsehair plaster walls, and decorative Revolutionary-era fireplaces that radiate charm. The kitchen is beautifully redone and features five major appliances-including a Viking stove, Bosch dishwasher, hammered copper sink, hidden front-load washer and gas dryer, custom cabinetry, and a cozy window seat with a kick heater. Restoration methods were true to history-wood was planed rather than sanded, and even the handcrafted Vermont exterior lights reflect period authenticity. Modern upgrades include European radiant baseboard heating, replumbed systems, a 2011 roof, and a tankless hot water heater that serves both units. The adjoining 6-room, 3-bedroom, 1-bath unit offers hardwood floors throughout and has been lovingly maintained-perfect for multigenerational living or rental income.
