DESCRIPTION:
If you've ever dreamed of owning a historic home without the hassle of renovations, this is the perfect opportunity. Built in 1860 by Silas Griffith, Vermont's first millionaire, this remarkable property was once known as the "skyscraper of Southern Vermont" during the Civil War era. Later, it became home to Nobel and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Pearl S. Buck, who operated the Maple Skillet Eatery on the first floor. In 2017, a meticulous renovation transformed the home, adding new insulation, structural reinforcements, updated plumbing and electrical systems, a new roof, windows, and modern conveniences such as heat pumps, central AC, solar panels, and smart thermostats. More recently, the kitchen was beautifully remodeled, featuring an expansive island and brand-new appliances and a bedroom was added to the second floor. The heart of the home is on the second floor, where an open-plan kitchen, living, and dining area boasts hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, and oversized windows framing breathtaking easterly mountain views from two elevated decks. Additional features include a first floor office (or bedroom), an attached 2 car garage, front retail space which could be additional living space if needed, 8.24 serene acres- private yet in town, and private access to the famous "Danby Slides"- your very own swimming hole! You can also purchase the guest cottage which sits right behind it- MLS #5029649 for 240,000.
