8 North Street #1, Bristol, VT 05443

A thoughtfully renovated 1813 Federal-style townhouse and one of just two unique units within a beautifully restored home. Part of the 14-household Bristol Village Cohousing community, this 1,504 sq. ft. condo blends timeless character with modern efficiency. Fully renovated in 2017, the main floor features an airy layout with warm Vermont maple and oak hardwood floors. The kitchen, complete with a large island, flows into a dining or sitting area bathed in afternoon light. The restored central staircase and original mantels in both the kitchen and living room pay tribute to the home’s history. A south-side door leads to a private deck and yard, while a vine-covered pergola offers shaded patio space off the kitchen. A whimsical under-stair ¾ bath adds charm and functionality. Upstairs, wide-plank pine floors run throughout two bright bedrooms flanking a spacious landing—ideal for a home office. A full bath and laundry area complete the second floor. Mini-splits offer heating and cooling. Enjoy private space and shared community amenities: fossil fuel free living, gardens, EV chargers, solar power, guest housing, barn storage, and the historic common Peake House. Across the street from Bristol’s town green where you can enjoy the Monday afternoon farmer's market, or listen to the 140 year running Bristol Town Band on Wednesdays, and around the corner from restaurants, shops, and trails, this home offers a rare mix of connected community living and classic New England charm.
