Originally constructed as one of 7 Charlotte Taverns back in 1812, this historic building has lived life as a Tavern, single family residence and since the early 1980's, as professional office space and apartments. The current owner is now offering it to the next steward/ owner to be used as it is or be converted to a one of a kind historic landmark home. Located in the center of Charlotte and with easy access to Rt #7, this Federal structure has stood the test of time and would make a great home for it's next owner. The property is to be conveyed with approximately 6.9 acres of land. The grounds have been fully landscaped and maintained and include a rolling west facing lawn, small orchard, and large pond with a woodland on the westernmost boundary. Experience the solid structure, period woodwork details and the over all charm that only a vintage structure can provide. One of Charlotte's most recognizable landmark properties.

A Google Earth search of this property is very deceiving!! Located off of VT Route 7, the well engineered drive switchbacks raise you above the fray and set you down on this wide, open and gently sloping home site that is beautifully landscaped and has a large lawn. Inside you will be greeted with soaring cathedral ceilings in the great room, which features a fireplace with wood stove insert, hardwood floors and open living/dining floor plan. The great room patio doors open onto the south facing deck and screened porch, and overlooks the yard with lake and mountain views beyond. The kitchen is well equipped with gas range, Bosch dishwasher and side-by-side refrigerator/freezer. The hall leading back to the mudroom and garage passes a wall of pantry closets on the left, and a large laundry room on the right. The garage is oversized and offers room for two vehicles, a huge storage area above with stair access, a workbench and wood storage. The real bonus is the huge first floor master bedroom with it's own gas fireplace, private access to the deck, private master bath, and south and west facing views that include Lake Champlain and the Adirondack High Peaks. With a location that is equidistant from Burlington or Middlebury and great local schools, this home is hard to pass up.

New construction is nice but often uninspired and gives you a false sense of permanence without demonstrating it. The framing is cultivated softwood, (emphasis on "soft"), exterior sheathing is "pieces parts" wood (chipboard or OSB), interior walls are sheet rock (two layers of paper with plaster in between) and the exterior siding is vinyl (read plastic). While these materials, when assembled, can be called a house, the sum of these pathetic parts can hardly be called a home. Now give me a structure that was built in 1830!! By my math, this edifice is pushing 200 years old and still going strong. The backbone of this monument to Mom and Apple Pie is most likely a hand hewed Oak or Chestnut frame, sturdy plaster and lath interior walls, solid plank sheathing and old growth, quarter saw'n real wood clapboard siding. Now that is not just a house, it's a real home; where you grow and shelter your family, create a lifetime of memories, it's your sanctuary, your safety zone. It was there in 1830, it will be there for you and your family, and it will be there long after you are gone. Now that is permanence worth owning, loving and caring for. So what are you waiting for, make an appointment to see it and experience for yourself what a real home is before it's gone. Because when it is gone it will be unavailable for the next generation or so. Now that is a real home.
