Description:
The Governor Carpenter Homestead, a pivotal piece of American history in Guilford, VT, is now accepting applications for its next Steward. This remarkable property was constructed in 1772 by Benjamin Carpenter, Vermont's first Lieutenant Governor. Lovingly maintained for decades, the residence combines historic integrity with modern functionality. Key features include: Architectural Significance: A gracious, charming house featuring a central chimney and a unique, squared-off Palladian window over the front door - one of only four known examples in Vermont. Historic Details: Five working fireplaces (including a large living room hearth with a beehive oven), and the original one-hole privy in the carriage house. Scenic Surroundings: Located across a dirt road from a lovely pond with remnants of an old barn foundation. Revolutionary Lore: An enclosed garden near the house is traditionally believed to have been a former campsite of Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys. Modern Comfort: Features 21st-century plumbing while preserving its authentic character. New septic system installed in 2020. This is an unparalleled opportunity to own a property rich in history, charm, and character. A short drive to Brattleboro and everything it has to offer. Boston: 2.5 hrs. NYC 4 hrs. {Additional 30+/- acres available for an additional $250,000}
