About This Home

As of July 2013

The Spruces, one of Dorset's finest and most distinguished properties, welcomes family and guests by way of its signature long drive and allee of mature Blue Spruces. Designed by Classical Revival architect, H. Leslie Walker, built in 1937-38, the shared vision was to create a home unsurpassed in Vermont. To this day, the elegant 4 bedroom, 5 bath main house, the dramatic 2 bedroom studio/conservatory along with the guest quarters above the 4 bay garage, continue to reflect its storied heritage. Sited on gently rolling grounds with flowering fruit trees, colorful New England perennial gardens, stone walls and rare old Vermont marble pathways, the privacy and location all combine to create an unparalleled Dorset retreat!
