The historic home was built in 1880 on the Village Green in the quaint town of Guildhall, Vermont. You are welcomed into this 4-bedroom, 2-bath home from the covered front portico overlooking the village green into the updated kitchen with an electric stove replicating an antique cook stove, a large island, stainless steel refrigerator & dishwasher. There is ample cupboard and counter space, along with a walk-in pantry. This home has so much character, from the wainscoting along the walls and the cornices on the ceilings, which are featured in the dining room, main entryway, and living room. Large windows allow for lots of natural light. To finish the main level, there is a 3/4 bath, office, and family/media room. On the 2nd floor are 4 bedrooms, a 3/4 bath, a laundry area, and a bonus bunk room. Over the years, many renovations to the house, including radiant floor heat in most of the first level, insulation, some replacement windows, a chimney, and a newer heating system. This home is situated on nearly an acre of land, offering a large private backyard for gardening and a detached barn with plenty of additional storage. The main house served as the Jailer's residence, and attached to the house's north wall is the former Essex County Jail (discontinued in 1969). The Jail still exhibits the prison cells with barred windows & the Jailers Office. Bring your ideas on what this 28' x 40' wing could be! The property is being sold furnished.
