The house is a classic example of Victorian Italianate architecture : cornices below the roof, emphatic eves supported by corbels and low-pitched roofs barely discernible from the ground. Other architectural features are the Italian belvedere and balustraded railings on the front and back porches. The carriage barn also has many of these architectural features.
This part of Vermont is known for its marble and wood and the house is a prime example of skilled craftsman using local materials to construct a beautiful and sturdy house..There are 4 fireplaces all with marble surrounds , original never- painted woodwork throughout on window and door casings and floor moldings , and cove ceilings in the principle downstairs rooms..Outside there are original marble pathways leading to the house and marble steps to the front porch.The house was completely renovated in 2006 and 2007. During the renovation we maintained historical integrity while upgrading electrical , plumbing and other building systems,replacing the roof ,insulating the walls and redecorating the interior.
The carriage barn is about 900 square feet on the main floor with a full second floor and lower level. The main floor is divided into 2 large areas and the walls and ceiling have their original wood covering.
The house is within walking distance to art galleries ,library, bookstore, hardware, supermarket and other shops , an ice cream parlor and several restaurants including a French bistro .
