'THE PETTINGILL HOUSE"... C.1820 - Peter Pettingill settled his land and began his farmstead. This fine Brick Colonial with Federal features was built with care and long learned skills. Wood was cut from the giant trees. Massive beams were hand hewn to support the 3 full story house. Bricks were formed on the riverside. 7 fireplaces & the big bake oven finished. The land was cleared of stones and planting began. EARLY GRAFTON GREW!!!

BUILT TO LAST ... Three full stories with Brick arches above 12 over 12 windows, 4 massive chimneys and center entrance make this a very special Grafton home. The 4 high ceiling bedrooms have fireplaces. The 2 ½ baths have built-in closets and cupboards. Original ceiling beams add to the kitchen and breakfast area with a sit-by fireplace. The dining room with fireplace and built-in china cupboard has wainscot detail. The original main fireplace and bake oven accent the living room with step down to a covered porch. The attached 2 car garage has two loft rooms.
|
YEARS WENT BY ... Now a covered porch and patio look out to mountain views and 28 acres of meadows and woodlands. A private time to reflect on years of life from Grafton’s early beginnings to today where families, friends, education and community values remain strong. |
 |
THE BIG RED BARN ... Cross the road from the house and on the rise of Middletown Road is the large wood frame barn with space for wagons, crops, animals, workshops and crop storage. Acres of lush green meadows and stone fencing open from the barn. Below the barn is the land given by the early settler for the OLD PETTINGILL SCHOOL! |
|
GOOD HUSBANDRY ... The Main Barn, outbuildings, old stonewalls and pasture gates all suggest the respect of today’s owners for the early settlers who did whatever was needed as farmers, house builders, tool makers, and when needed as soldiers. That is what Grafton is still all about.

A GIFT FROM THE PAST...
Look about and see beauty everywhere. Many hands and hearts have made this Grafton property a haven of comfort and graciousness that is so rare today. Tall old trees cast shadows as another generation leaves its treasure … perhaps for you. |

| OPEN THE GATE ... Hike the green meadows with lush grass under your feet. Feel the cool, clean, breeze. Rest awhile under the boundary trees and know peace as the Vermont clouds float by. The Pettingill/Kenedy Treasure could be yours. It is a once in a lifetime opportunity!!! |
