Do you love historic homes and long for their preservation? This classic New Englander home is located on a picturesque dirt country road, just outside of the quaint village of Peacham, VT. A classic historical home awaits your restoration dreams and will be well worth it. The bones of the house are straight and solid. If you love the elements of an old home, solid doors, wide detailed window and door trim, tall ceilings, and rambling on barns and sheds, this is it! A new septic installation is being engineered and will be installed for the next owner. Although it's been a dry season, the property offers a small pond, and a larger pond that has welcomed swimmers in the past. The acreage qualifies for the Current Use program in VT, and the property taxes are based on a larger parcel than the 28 acres. The property taxes will be lower than stated.

The home of Jacob Trussell (1833-1910) for about 40 years. He didn’t build it but bought it in 1872 and lived out his days there. He was quite a guy – a farmer then a Civil War officer and contractor on the Pacific Railroad. After the railroad was completed he came back to Vermont, farmed and raised his family here, practiced law, delivered the mail, served in the legislature, a few other things.
The vernacular Greek Revival house, from about 1850 I’d guess, doesn’t look to have changed much except for some mid-century updates. Needs a little fixing here and there. Plenty of room for books and all kinds of stuff in the barns, lots of land for gardens and fruit trees and running the dog. Pretty nice!
I think 1850 or so–1850-1865–is exactly right. From the outside you might think it was considerably earlier, but this is a late cape, with a hint of Greek Revival as in the two-long-panel doors and vernacular triangular fireplace pediment.
