Set along tree-lined Monument Avenue in prestigious and historic Old Bennington, the Spargo House offers a rare opportunity to own a distinctive piece of Vermont history. Dating to circa 1800, this remarkable home was once the longtime residence of noted author, historian and collector John Spargo, founder and longtime director of the Bennington Museum. Just below the Bennington Battle Monument, the home blends historic character with thoughtful updates throughout its 2,692 square feet of living space. The bright kitchen features abundant cabinetry, generous counter space, stainless appliances and a center island, while exposed brick, arched openings and period details preserve the character of the home. Four bedrooms include an expansive primary suite with an exposed beam, sitting area, recently renovated bath and convenient in-suite laundry, while mini-split cooling adds modern comfort throughout the home. Outside, the deep one-acre lot stretches from Monument Avenue to Catamount Lane, offering access from both ends and exceptional space for gardens, recreation and outdoor living. A spacious back deck with a powered retractable awning provides a comfortable place to relax or entertain, while mature trees and established landscaping complement the home's historic setting. A distinctive stone-lined approach leads from the driveway to the home, adding to the character of the property. Enjoy the convenience of nearby golf at Mt. Anthony Country Club, Southwestern Vermont Medical Center, the William H. Morse State Airport, downtown Bennington and the cultural and historic landmarks that make Old Bennington one of Vermont’s most distinctive communities. A home with history, character, space and an extraordinary setting that's ready for its next chapter.
