76 Main St Vergennes, VT 05491

I know I've featured this home before but it's still on the market and it's still fantastic.

I'm also going to add a little more about the town so we can all get a feel for the home that makes me drool and the place it calls home.

Ever since I went to sleep away camp in Vermont 25 or so years ago I've been in love with the state of Vermont. It's where I most often dream about living.

Vergennes is small, but does have a lot going for it. There are a couple good restaurants and a small farmer's market. Most people who live in Vergennes either work for Goodrich (in town) or commute to the Burlington area.

Vergennes is a great small community. It used to be really down in the dumps back in the 80s - early 90s, but has made an incredible turnaround. If you live right in town it is entirely possible to walk to restaurants, shops, etc. Vergennes has some really good restaurants - my favorite is Black Sheep Bistro. There are not too many shops, butthe ones there are nice. There is a florist, shoe store, pharmacy, a couple clothing shops and a couple banks. The Vergennes Opera House has many concerts, movies etc. Vergennes Day is a nice event and the town also has the largest Memorial Day Parade in the state.
You may also want to consider Middlebury, which is about 15 minutes south. A larger community with the college, Midd has a little more going on.
The local newspaper is the Addison INdependent - it should give you a good idea as to what is going on around the area.

Vergennes really has that small town feel to it. Going to High School there had the side affect of walking down Main St and honestly seeing roughly 10 people you know who'll wave. There are many restaurants in town and an affordabel barber who'll charge you $10-$11 for a haircut. Theres a lot of school events that go on and the crime level is almost null. So if you have kids it a wonderful place to grow up in. Would you husband be working at Nathanials? or Goodrich? If so you should know that both of which have seen some rough times in the last 3 years or so. Rent is manageable, there are some steals to be had last I knew just out side of the city.

The whole town is roughly 1 mile squared, and is surrounded by farms, forest, rivers, and smaller mountains....very rural. Being from Vergennes I say its a great place to live!
