Major Benjamin Swan began construction of one of Woodstock’s finest residences in the mid-1790’s, where he and his wife Lucy Gay Swan lived and raised their six children as he spent over 30 years as Vermont State Treasurer. The exceptional Federal-style home is sited on a gracious parcel of land fronting on Elm Street and the active Kedron Brook surrounded by award-winning landscaping featuring flowering shrubs, expansive stonework, pergola for outdoor entertaining and an ever-changing palate of perennial gardens.. Owned by Major Swan’s heirs for over 200 years; the home was superbly restored in 2014 to exacting standards that incorporated state-of-the-art mechanical systems with utmost respect for the integrity of original architectural elements and design. Hand-crafted raised panel doors, antique forged hardware, 12 over 12 windows and interior ‘Indian Shutters’ remain intact and accent the light and airy post-beam framed home with remarkable 10’ high ceilings. Artfully refinished floors reflect the patina of time throughout the home. Modern amenities include a fabulous chef’s kitchen, spa-bathrooms, central A/C, master suite and screened porch. An old-fashioned ‘gentleman’s retreat’ is located on the third floor. Ideally located within walking distance of all Village shopping, dining and cultural assets.
