The country kitchen features pine cabinetry, wood-paneled walls, and space for casual dining, while the formal dining room is anchored by a functional brick fireplace that adds to the home's historic character. The adjoining living room offers tall ceilings, large windows overlooking the backyard, and a second fireplace framed by a floor-to-ceiling wood surround with an Italian mosaic, creating a striking architectural focal point. Upstairs, you'll find five bedrooms, including a primary bedroom with an en suite full bath. Outside, the back deck overlooks a private yard with mature trees, open lawn, and space for gardening, relaxing, or entertaining. The 480 sqft barn includes a convenient garage door for lawn mowers, along with two additional rooms that were previously used as a jewelry studio and office, offering flexible space for storage, a workshop, studio, or a home office. There is also storage space above the barn. Rich in original character and surrounded by the beauty of the Lake Champlain Islands, this historic home is ready for its next chapter.
