Only a fortunate few have the privilege of calling Green River Village home-a quintessential Vermont hamlet distinguished by its historic covered bridge, the 1811 timber crib dam, and the iconic wood-spired church proudly perched on the hillside above. Sited next to the bridge, the Green River Bridge House, originally a blacksmith shop, enjoys 300 feet of frontage along the Green River. Built in the 1830s and extensively renovated in 2002, the home overlooks a sweeping lawn that stretches to the river's edge, framed by stone-walled perennial gardens and a private porch perfectly positioned to enjoy the beauty and tranquility of the surrounding landscape. The home is thoughtfully designed for rural family life centered around a welcoming country kitchen featuring a six-burner Garland stove, Moffat turbo oven, cozy wood stove, and an impressive marble-topped island ideal for casual dining and gathering. Friends are welcomed through the front door into a gracious living and dining room that is both elegant and inviting. Beyond, you'll find a bright and charming fireplaced pub for entertaining or quiet evenings, a cozy game room/office, and a sweeping staircase leading to the sleeping accommodations. Each bedroom is uniquely enchanting, featuring remarkable recessed chandeliers, dormer windows, and private en-suite baths, including one with a jetted tub for relaxing after a day of outdoor adventure. A lower-level office and studio apartment offer private exterior access with flexibility for personal or business use. Formerly, a bed and breakfast, this is an exceptional country retreat for family and friends. Skiing, cycling, hiking, swimming, fishing, kayaking, and endless exploration of Vermont's scenic back roads are all at your door. Picture the gentle Green River lulling you asleep each night!
