The “Stevens Block,” one of several period homes surrounding Rochester’s beautiful four-acre Park, was a general store during President Lincoln’s administration.  Recently the building was totally renovated into three exquisite condominium suites where new owners can enjoy life in a vibrant New England village, without the worries or maintenance of a country property.  Uptown style in small town Vermont.

Stevens III, located on the top floor, has 950 square feet of luxury and convenience.  With two bedrooms with queen beds, two baths en suite, a fully-equipped kitchen and large light-filled living room, it can accommodate a family or two couples with ease.  The living room has a gas, remote-controlled fireplace and large flat-screen TV encased in a custom-built cherry wall unit, beautiful oriental carpets, handsome antiques and a cozy nook for a study or an office.  Three large dormers face west toward the Park, bandstand and mountains beyond. 

Conveniences include a washer/dryer in the guest suite, built-in surround sound, radiant heat, air conditioning, central vacuum and high speed internet.  The kitchen features a La Cornue range and Sub Zero refrigerator.  Throughout the suite you will find wide pine floor boards with hand-driven rose head nails.  An over-sized garage with remote-controlled overhead door is private and lockable.  The building has an elevator that serves all levels, including the basement and storage area.  The entire building is built to commercial code and  is sprinklered.  A buzz-in phone/security system assures safety, convenience and privacy.

Rochester offers many activities and daily necessities within walking distance.  Four ski areas Killington, Pico, Middlebury College Snow Bowl and Sugarbush are a short drive away, as are fishing and swimming in the White River, hiking on the trails of the Green Mountains (the Long Trail is minutes away), boating on Lake Dunmore and snow mobiling through the VAST trail system. 

Making Stevens your pied-a-terre brings all the advantages of a second home that is maintained and protected for you.  When not in use by the owners, the suite can be rented out through a nearby inn, if desired.

Stevens III is offered fully furnished and equipped for $295,000.
