7 High St, Brandon, VT 05733

Some know it as the Bow House, others call it the Acorn House, but perhaps it's time to call it home. Rich in charm and character, this distinctive residence draws inspiration from the rare New England bow roof tradition, a style rooted in Maritime craftsmanship and celebrated for its graceful curved roofline. Originally influenced by the techniques of shipwrights and carpenters who built wooden boat hulls, the design creates a striking silhouette while maximizing headroom and living space on the second floor. The sweeping ceilings lend an openness that sets this home apart from more conventional New England houses. Thoughtfully updated for modern living, the current owners added a 1st flr primary suite that blends seamlessly with the original architecture, creating a home that's as functional as it is beautiful. Central A/C & heat pumps provides year-round comfort, while a woodstove in the kitchen and a pellet stove in the basement add warmth and inviting ambiance during Vermont's cooler months. Privately tucked away from the road, yet right in the heart of town, the property offers the best of both worlds. The oversized three-car garage provides exceptional space for vehicles, hobbies, or storage, and the dry basement offers even more room for organization. For buyers who appreciate homes with authentic character, thoughtful craftsmanship, and architectural significance, this is a rare opportunity. Equally appealing is its location in the heart of Brandon, one of Vermont's most vibrant villages, where galleries, studios, live performances, locally owned shops, cafés, and community events create a lively arts scene and a welcoming sense of place. Enjoy the convenience of village living while becoming part of a creative community that celebrates both history and culture. Homes with this level of architectural distinction and timeless charm seldom become available. This is more than a place to live,it's an opportunity to own a truly memorable piece of Vermont.
