The Laurin Whiting House, circa 1850, is a Greek Revival style home with 5 bedrooms and 7 baths on 1 +/- acre. The curved, multi-bay veranda wraps around the front of the house with neo-classical columns and an oculus that punctuates the front gable end. A light-filled living room has French doors that open to the lovely porch and adjoin a large bedroom and full bath. The formal dining room connects with the eat-in kitchen with side entrance. An elegant foyer staircase leads to the large landing area on the second floor and a large, ensuite primary bedroom. A third bedroom adjoins a full bath and connects to a back stairway and two additional bedrooms and a bath. The convenient mudroom with adjoining half bath and laundry room connects the house to the barn/event space. The original barn is redesigned to function as a conference center. The meeting space has a separate bar area, two half baths, a tv/game room with exposed beams and a second floor billiard room. The potential uses for this multi-faceted property are many- a spacious full-time home with a business, a duplex, vacation home, ski club or an investment property with rental potential. A large, level yard offers space for gardening, badminton or croquet and a back deck for enjoying summer evenings. Walk to the Town Green for Summer Concerts, shopping and festivals and to the Town Rec area around the corner for year-round exercise and fun!
The possibilities are endless with this beautiful property that has been in the same family since 1964! You will not find a nicer piece of Vermont land than this, with approx. 34 acres of open pastureland bordered by hundreds of feet of the Williams River. This stream offers some great summertime activities such as swimming and fishing! The house and attached barns can be a showplace with some love, and this property is looking for that person who can bring it back to its former glory days. As they say, the buildings have good bones, so consider this a blank canvas to do whatever you please for renovations. Since it's very original, you can update without having to tear out former "improvements" that might have taken away the antique charm. Since it was a working farm at one time, it still has the old silo. Years ago, this was made into a 4-level living unit. You can bring this back to life and use it as a very unique vacation rental or keep it as a very cool place for your kids and grandkids - much cooler than a treehouse! The attached barn is huge and for years it was used as a barn antique store. You could do that again, or you could use it for animals. With the open land which supplies a big supply of hay each year, this property would be great for horses, cows, and other large animals. There is also a sugar house, plus a separate building out front that was also used for the antique business. Several apple trees, a huge rhubarb patch, and more! Don't wait on this one!
