Set on Maple Street, this circa-1830 Italianate home strikes a lovely balance between historic elegance and modern comfort. Open sightlines throughout the main living area and spacious private suites create a comfortable floor plan, complemented by western exposure and sweeping views of conserved meadows and the Adirondack Mountains beyond. Known locally as the "Bacon Farm," this home holds a place among the region's most distinguished historic properties. Entering from the covered front porch, you are welcomed into a central foyer that provides a natural division between the main living spaces and the home's many bedrooms and guest spaces. To the right, an inviting living room is anchored by a brick hearth and soapstone woodstove. This space enjoys afternoon light and direct access to the back deck while also flowing conveniently into the kitchen. With a vaulted ceiling, large center island and double wall ovens the kitchen is ideal for the home chef and entertaining alike. Just off the kitchen, the dining area features a large brick wall with a gas fireplace, providing a cozy space to share a meal as well as direct access to a screened porch. Also, on the ground level, are a full bath, and two bedrooms, including an ADA accessible suite. On the second floor, you'll find three additional bedrooms, including a second primary suite with a sitting room and ¾ en-suite bath, as well as a large guest bath. Outside the grounds slope gently westward, enhanced by mature shade trees, established perennial gardens, and an in-ground ground swimming pool positioned to capture the long views and evening light. A large barn - originally built in the 1850s underwent significant structural stabilization in 2015. Just outside Vergennes, and only 20 minutes to Middlebury, 45 to Burlington, with great gravel bike rides right out your front door!
