Rarely does a property offer this combination of history, setting, and opportunity. Located just a half mile from downtown Waterbury, this picturesque one-acre parcel overlooks Crossett Brook and is framed by mature trees in one of Central Vermont's most sought-after locations, with easy access to I-89, Stowe, Sugarbush, Mad River Glen, and all the recreation and amenities the Mad River Valley has to offer. Believed to have been built in 1890 as the residence of the foreman of the nearby sawmill, this historic home is ready for its next chapter. Rich with original character and architectural detail, the structure will require a substantial renovation, but for the right buyer, that's where the opportunity begins. Whether your vision is to thoughtfully restore its historic character, create a distinctive Vermont retreat, or explore new possibilities for the site, this property offers an exceptional canvas, subject to any necessary approvals. The current owner, an architect, has already done much of the early legwork. Existing drawings, conceptual design studies, completed test pits identifying both its current primary and a backup septic location for potential expansion, and a drilled well provide valuable resources for future planning. Municipal water is also available nearby. Architectural design and project coordination services may be available separately for buyers interested in continuing the vision, but are not included in the sale. Opportunities like this are increasingly rare! A remarkable setting where history, natural beauty, and vision come together to create something truly special.
