Sunny and spacious, the Chittenden Homestead beckons owners appreciative of authenticity and high quality.
The property consists of 83.35 acres with approximately 1 mile of frontage along the Winooski River. With the exception of about 2 1/2 acres immediately around the house, the land is leased for agricultural purposes by a neighboring farmer.
Original 12/12 and Palladian windows on the exterior and 8 fireplaces, wide plank floors, high ceilings, extensive and detailed molding in the interior are examples of the quality throughout.
This home was built around 1796 as a wedding gift for Martin Chittenden, 8th Governor of Vermont and son of Thomas Chittenden, 1st Governor of Vermont and President of the Republic of Vermont. During the Civil War a frame barn and sheds were added to the northern side of the home.
