About This Home

As of March 2026

This holiday season, immerse yourself in the quintessential charm of Vermont village life at The Tower House, an impeccably maintained 1851 residence in historic Newfane. This distinguished home is instantly recognizable by its welcoming front sitting porch—ideal for watching the world go by—and its most prominent feature: a two-story Queen Anne tower, complete with a pyramidal peaked roof and abundant windows that flood the interior with natural light. Designed for comfort and effortless entertaining, the main level boasts an open-concept kitchen and dining area with a working fireplace, complemented by a second cozy fireplace in the living room—perfect for enjoying throughout the winter months. A spacious first-floor family room with an adjoining bathroom offers practical, age-in-place potential for flexible living. Practical amenities blend seamlessly with modern upgrades. The property includes a convenient two-car garage and a private backyard oasis featuring a serene brook. The current owners have added valuable enhancements, including two Tesla Powerwalls for reliable energy backup, a complete exterior repaint, and professional landscaping and Vego Garden raised beds. The location offers effortless walkability to local landmarks such as the Newfane Inn, Fat Crow Restaurant, and Four Columns Inn. Brattleboro is only a 20-minute drive. Boston is approximately 2.5 hours away, and NYC & Montreal are 3.5 hrs.
