About this home

If you’ve been dreaming of a place that blends modern living with total Vermont escape, this is it. Wake up to sweeping mountain views, step onto your expansive front deck with coffee in hand, or spend your afternoons enjoying your own private swimming hole and water slide: part of the famed Danby Slides, with beautifully crafted wrought iron stairs leading down to the brook. Set on over 8 acres, the property offers a rare mix of open space and wooded privacy, with endless potential to explore, relax, or create. Inside, the home feels more like a modern loft than a historic property: it's bright, open, and thoughtfully designed. The main living level features an airy open-concept kitchen, dining, and living space with high ceilings, hardwood floors, and oversized windows that frame the views. A newly renovated kitchen (2023) with a large island and updated appliances makes it perfect for hosting and everyday living. Flexibility is a key highlight here. The first floor includes an attached garage, office space, and a separate retail area that can generate rental income or easily be converted into additional living space depending on your needs. While the home lives like new, its roots add a unique layer of character. Originally built in 1860 by Silas Griffith-Vermont’s first millionaire-and later owned by Pulitzer and Nobel Prize winner Pearl S. Buck, the property has been fully renovated in recent years, including updated systems, windows, roof, insulation, and the addition of modern efficiencies like heat pumps, central AC, solar, and smart thermostats. Whether you're looking for a full-time home, a retreat, or a property with income potential, this one offers a rare combination of style, space, and setting. Now being offered at $799,000.
