80 Cross Road, Stowe VT “The Barn Estate”

Listed for Sale at $995,000

Sophisticated and charming are the words that come to mind when you step into this renovated barn. Stately situated on the edge of a sixteen-acre meadow, the home commands views of nearby farms and soaring mountains.

Architect Graham Goldsmith, of Nantucket fame, designed the renovation. He respected the original post and beam structure and showcased its warm polished patina. Having a flair for style and drama, Mr. Goldsmith remembered the days when he would walk through barns and see the outside light shining through the barn board. Taking that concept, he installed a two-story glass window behind the barn beams that not only accents the framework on the barn but also brings views and light flooding into the living and dining areas.

It was Saturday afternoon and I had to go to a showing. Since the house had a great rec room with pool table, ping pong and foosball, I decided to invite my six year old grandson, Eli, along. He was staying with me for the week-end and needed to have some diversion.

Eli was under strict instructions to stay in the rec room while I was showing the house. We arrived to the house ready and he explored every inch of it, including the “really cool” ladder that went to the cupola. He turned on all the necessary lights and wanted to light the gas fireplace, which is where I drew the line.

The potential buyers arrived at the house, I barely got the door open when Eli announced,”This is a really cool house and you should buy it.” Attempts to get him back down in the rec room were futile. He guided us through the house, pointed out all of the features that he thought they should know about. And the amazing thing was, they were exactly the same features I would have pointed out to them.

I was a bit apologetic, but I was assured that it was the most interesting and fun house tour they had been on and that I should split the commission with him when I sold it.

Just in case you’d like to see the house. Click here is a link for the visual tour of Blueberry Hill.

Any offers will have to be reviewed by Eli.

This is a perfect seasonal business for someone who wants to work but doesn’t want to be tied down. In the village of Greensboro, Vermont just a block from the idyllic Caspian Lake sits the Miller’s Thumb, currently a retail store of worldly goods and Vermont products. The building is a 1700’s gristmill with all of the charm of hand-hewn beams, soft patina pine floors, and a peek hole to the river that literally runs below the building. There are many opportunities for this building besides the existing business. It would be perfect for an artist studio, museum, and/or gallery. (more…)
