Address: 888 Botsford Road Ferrisburgh VT
Listed by Averill Cook LandVest, Inc-Burlington
Description:
Nestled on 5.03± acres of mature trees, perennial gardens, and pastoral views, 888 Botsford Road is a beautifully updated c.1840 brick farmhouse that blends historic charm with modern comfort. This home radiates character and quaintness--from original pumpkin heart pine floors and hand-blown glass doorknobs to historic paint colors and thoughtful updates including Marvin windows, and standing seam and slate roofs. Every corner of this 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home reveals a little treasure; each detail has been lovingly chosen and holds meaning. Interior highlights include exposed beams, a Vermont Castings wood stove, and a chef's kitchen with custom cabinetry made from 1840s pine sourced from the property, a BlueStar range, and marble countertops. Outdoor living is just as enchanting, with a screened porch, multiple patios, and eight raised garden beds. A cedar-sided guest cottage, three-bay garage with storage loft, cedar-lined sauna, and a multi-use barn with insulated woodshop add even more character and flexibility. Modern systems--underground electricity (EV ready), Starlink internet, propane heating with minisplits, and 40 solar panels--offer both sustainability and ease. With mooring access at Kingsland Bay and just 1.5 miles from Vergennes, this home is surrounded by conserved land, mountain views, and peace. A lifetime of memories have been made here--and it's ready for the next chapter.
