Historic home with income-generating space. Originally constructed in 1860 by Silas Griffith, Vermont's first millionaire, the residence was known as the "skyscraper of Southern Vermont" during the Civil War era. It was later owned by Nobel and Pulitzer Prize winner Perl S. Buck, who operated the "Maple Skillet Eatery" on the first floor. Prior owners renovated the home in 2017, adding insulation, structural enhancements, plumbing and electrical upgrades, a new roof, windows, heat pumps, central AC, solar, and smart thermostats. Recent renovations include a whole kitchen and appliances. The 2nd floor features an open-plan kitchen/living/dining area with hardwood floors, high ceilings, and oversized windows providing mountain views from two decks. There's an attached 2-car garage and front retail space. The property covers 8.24 acres with private access to a swimming hole. Available with guest cottage for 1, 135, 000. The renovated guest cottage offers a secluded retreat for friends and family. It was relocated in 2011 and updated with new windows, siding, roof, insulation, and heating system. The main floor includes an open-plan kitchen with chrome appliances, new vinyl plank flooring, a living/dining area with a propane fireplace, laundry, and a half bath. Natural light floods through windows and full-panel glass doors that open onto the deck with views of the backyard and brook. Upstairs, a spacious bedroom with wooden beams and a full bathroom.
