Description:
Some homes simply have a way of making you slow down. Built in 1863, the original Twitchell Farmhouse is one of them. Rich in history and craftsmanship, this beautifully maintained four-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers the warmth and authenticity that only a true Vermont farmhouse can provide. Original hardwood floors, handcrafted woodwork by a master carpenter, and thoughtful updates create a home that feels both timeless and comfortable. The country kitchen has been tastefully renovated while respecting the home's heritage, and the spacious primary bath features a generous double vanity with classic farmhouse styling. Whether it's curling up beside the fireplace on a snowy evening, enjoying a quiet morning in the bright enclosed sunroom, or unwinding on the private back yard surrounded by gardens, every space invites you to linger just a little longer. Outside, the property's agricultural roots remain proudly intact. The impressive tri-level hand-hewn and pegged barn, with silo, offers exceptional space for hobbies, storage, or a workshop, with the original cow stanchions still in place as a reminder of its working past. The attached two-car garage, once the home's summer kitchen, adds yet another layer of character and history. Perennial gardens, heirloom lilacs, and berry bushes create colorful seasonal displays, while protected land bordering the northern boundary helps preserve the peaceful setting for years to come. Offered fully furnished and move-in ready, this remarkable farmhouse is ready to be enjoyed from the moment you arrive. Equally appealing as a cherished full-time home, a Vermont escape, or an income-producing vacation rental, it offers a rare combination of history, craftsmanship, and enduring New England character that is increasingly difficult to find.
