How would you like to cross the threshold with a $200,000 head start? Priced $200,000 below a very recent appraisal, this rare Swanton property invites you to own a distinctive piece of Vermont history. Built in 1814 and historically known as the “Bullard Inn”, the home carries 212 years of character in its impressive 4-foot-thick stone walls, deep window wells, wide plank flooring, lofty ceilings and spacious rooms. Beautiful craftsmanship and careful upkeep preserve its historic presence while thoughtful improvements support everyday living. Updates include central AC, an alarm system, newer windows, an added 3/4 bath, a rebuilt chimney, and a roof and septic system replaced in 2019. The attached private one-bedroom ADU includes two bathrooms and two bonus rooms, offering options for multigenerational living, visiting guests, a home office or potential rental income. A main-level bedroom and full bath, ramped entrances, stair lift and walk-in tub add accessibility and convenience. Professionally landscaped grounds create an inviting outdoor retreat where stone walls and exposed ledge complement a waterfall, mature trees, established wisteria and low-maintenance perennial gardens. Trex decking with solar lighting, an automatic awning and privacy fencing provide a welcoming setting for quiet afternoons or entertaining. An attached one-car garage with workshop space and a garden shed round out the property's practical amenities. Enjoy the breathing room of more than six acres with convenient access to I-89, St. Albans, shopping and restaurants. Montreal is approximately an hour away, adding another destination for dining, culture and weekend adventures. From its days as the Bullard Inn to its next chapter, this carefully maintained property offers a distinctive connection to the past with the flexibility today's buyers appreciate. Historic architecture, established gardens and adaptable spaces make this a memorable opportunity. **Open House, Sunday October 11th**
