A HISTORICAL MASTERPIECE...

This magnificent, historic home is located in Middlebury's finest estate area.  The drama begins on the expansive porch that is supported by grand stone columns where generations of family life have enjoyed the cool breezes. The front entrance is beautifully flanked by unusual raised leaded glass windows. The home was originally built for Rev. Mark Mead circa 1815. Rev. Mead was a graduate of Yale College and 'was a man of great purity and excellence of character'. His home echoes this sentiment. It was expanded in the mid 19th century, and given its Colonial Revival flavor around 1900 when the porch and period detail were added.  Gracious and airy, the porch, music room, foyer, dining room and generously-proportioned living room are perfectly suited for both informal and formal entertaining. The kitchen and baths have been updated to suit today's discriminating buyer. Remarkable stone walls topped with boulders line the street and appear again in the rear acreage on a site where a turn-of-the-last-century barn once stood. The back land, now reclaimed by nature, could be groomed into the park-like setting it once was or possibly become a building lot with town approval. Gardens, a working greenhouse, fruit and nut trees and imposing evergreens all surround this piece of history.
