Map of East Topsham, VT  

East Topsham, VT is a small community in the Upper Connecticut Valley. Rural, yet close to major towns like Barre, Montpelier, and Norwich, VT as well as Hanover, NH and the Dartmouth College or West Lebanon, the shopping-hub in the Upper Valley.
Its location allows for four-season enjoyment, with major ski areas such as Killington, Okemo, Stratton, Suicide Six and Ascutney less than an hour away. World-class golfing, fishing, hiking, biking, swimming - or skiing, snowmobiling or skating - there is always something to do or enjoy here in Vermont.

If you are looking for a genuine Vermont getaway, please take a moment and walk through our virtual house. We have photos of the downstairs area, which is really inviting and a great place to entertain family and friends, or using it as the reception area for your Vermont B&B!
The 2nd floor houses another kitchen as well as 4 more bedrooms. Finally, walk around the property and its outbuildings. The property is ideally located, right on the main street, next to a Brick Federal right in the center of East Topsham - which makes this a great retail or B&B opportunity.

The main structure is: 3,500 sq.ft. The first floor consists of a 26'x29' living area, decorated with antiques and collectibles on original built-in shelves over 63 drawers of various sizes. A 3'x14' antique counter that had been used in the old general store is conveniently located to accommodate your computer or other office equipment. If you want to run a B&B, this room is perfect as the reception area. As a store, the numerous shelves provide plenty of storage space, with enough room left to place your merchandise.

The kitchen area downstairs is 16' x 11' and has a pantry with many shelves.
There are two bedrooms downstairs, 9'x12' and 13'x24', and 1 1/2 bathrooms.

The 2nd floor consists of a large kitchen (21' x 12'), a living room (21' x 13'), 4 bedrooms, a laundry room, two separate entrances and a separate walkout to a second story porch (36' x 6') overlooking the village. The entire second floor has been completely remodeled, rewired, and insulated with marvin windows throughout.

The attic or third floor is completely open, with large exposed timbers, and could be converted to a spectacular additional living area.

There is a drilled artisian well.

We are a licensed B&B and are presently running our business as a horse resort. Other commercial possibilities include a retail store, restaurant, antique store or antique mall (the two story carriage shed is 120` long), to name a few.
