97 Quinibeck Road, Thetford, VT 05075-0000

An architect’s personal home in Thetford, VT, built for his family 38 years ago, is strategically perched on a very private, 6.4-acre parcel, surrounded by stone walls. The Cape is harmoniously augmented by Greek Revival details, most especially the colonnaded three-sided porch. This open land is complemented by neighboring large, conserved parcels. Quinibeck Road is generally lightly traveled. In addition to the perimeter walls, there is an extraordinary interior wall and sunken terrace built by a noted stone mason. A highlight of the home's interior is the stunning view from the front door directly through the rear door out to Tug Mountain. That dramatic view is amplified by the unexpected central hallway atrium with internal windows on the second floor. The interior of the house features light-filled rooms with an emphasis on intimate, social gatherings. Another fetching feature of the entire house is the use of unexpected niche spaces to accommodate personal flourishes such as small sculptures. The home is replete with other custom features such as built-in bureaus, bookcases, and the recessed porch linked to the primary bedroom. New roof in 2023; three working fireplaces; ample storage throughout; a spacious dry basement; and mature plantings. If desired, opportunities for creative repurposing of rooms abound. Don't miss an opportunity to acquire an elegant yet comfortable country home, close to Lake Fairlee and only 21 minutes from the Green in Hanover.
