About This Home

As of November 2018

19th Century In-village Colonial in northern Vermont near beautiful Lake Carmi, summer home to many, and the Canadian border with an hour's drive to Montreal. A pleasant, private country setting for a grand house on 4 acres, one of the largest lots in the village. Enjoy the relaxed pace of a quaint village having afternoon tea on the spacious front porch. This historic home has a bonus area for potential apartment with separate entrance and off-street parking or a Bed & Breakfast. There's lots of storage space over the wood shed, and a detached insulated garage. The home has been in the family for four generations and was the boarding house for Franklin Academy. A true Vermont treasure!
