771 VT Route 153 Rupert, VT 05776

Come step back in time as you walk through this impressive 6 plus bedroom 4000+ square foot c1800 stately home awaiting restoration.  With gorgeous original floors, moldings, doors and fixtures all intact, upstairs high ceilings where legend has it there was once a  ballroom floating dance floor; this is one of Rupert's historic pride and joys. And all set on 16 acres of beautiful level land with woods, trails and nice private frontage along White Creek coursing through the property. (Legend has it that West Rupert used to be called White Creek Meadows back in the 1770s and the first Grist Mill was on White Creek not far from the back yard of this property)  The timber frame is amazing - the walkup attic is cathedral like - a soaring space is an incredible example of the amazing craftsmanship that went into these old homes back in the day.   The whole house was rewired in the 1970s and there is a drilled well.  Extensive plumbing and heating work would need to be done.  The home, other than some front sill decay is structurally impressive and sitting proud with its original slate roof, gorgeous exterior trim details and original siding all in good restorable condition. The current owners have owned this property since the 1940's and have added to the homes history.
