A stately 1797 Flemish Bond brick Georgian homestead with 83.35 acres and approximately l mile of frontage on the Winooski River just 25 minutes from Burlington. This home was built for Martin Chittenden, son of Thomas Chittenden, the President of the Republic of Vermont and the first Governor of Vermont. Martin Chittenden served ten years in Congress and was the state’s 8th governor. Evidence of the age of this home is suggested by a painted overmantel depicting the Federal eagle, a liberty cap and the American flag with 16 stars plus an early Vermont state flag. The house is magnificent; it offers five bedrooms, six baths, eight fireplaces and extensive molding, wide plank flooring and significant period detail. A wing was added during the Civil War era.
