Description
Set along tree-lined Monument Avenue in prestigious and historic Old Bennington, the Spargo House offers a rare opportunity to own a distinctive piece of Vermont history. Dating to circa 1800, this remarkable home was once the longtime residence of noted author, historian and collector John Spargo, founder and longtime director of the Bennington Museum. Just below the Bennington Battle Monument, the home blends historic character with thoughtful updates throughout its 2,692 square feet of living space. The bright kitchen features abundant cabinetry, generous counter space, stainless appliances and a center island, while exposed brick, arched openings and period details preserve the character of the home. Four bedrooms include an expansive primary suite with an exposed beam, sitting area, recently renovated bath and convenient in-suite laundry, while mini-split cooling adds modern comfort throughout the home. Outside, the deep one-acre lot stretches from Monument Avenue to Catamount Lane, offering access from both ends and exceptional space for gardens, recreation and outdoor living. A spacious back deck with a powered retractable awning provides a comfortable place to relax or entertain, while mature trees and established landscaping complement the home's historic setting. A distinctive stone-lined approach leads from the driveway to the home, adding to the character of the property. Enjoy the convenience of nearby golf at Mt. Anthony Country Club, Southwestern Vermont Medical Center, the William H. Morse State Airport, downtown Bennington and the cultural and historic landmarks that make Old Bennington one of Vermont’s most distinctive communities. A home with history, character, space and an extraordinary setting that's ready for its next chapter.

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWhen I was there one of the teachers made me cry and didn’t say sorry or I didn’t mean to make you cry They only “apologized” after I told someone they made 3 other kids cry that year. One of the teachers yelled at me when I didn’t hold the door for someone the person wasn’t disabled it was I wasn’t being a gentlemen I was in the 3rd grade. One of the kids didn’t do any work and was fine one kid slept the most classes and was ok. My friend was bullied for crying, the teacher didn’t do much. They banned a game for having a “bad” name. This was the 4th grade we would get in trouble for playing. My 2nd grade teacher threw a chair and broke a plastic bin they scared me and my friends at the table. There are good things like natures classroom and some field trips and going outside and the museum right by the school but that gets boring and repetitive. Some teachers are nice and that does help. There are fun trips that we went on . That’s allOther Review3y ago - Mt. Anthony Senior Uhsd #14

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy daughter has been at the Middle School for 2 1/2 years. The new facility is awesome. I have found her teachers to be dedicated and responsive to her needs. They have made themselves available to speak with me, and to meet with her after school when needed. The material presented is up-to-date, and relevant. The administrative staff is also responsive to student and parent requests. The new after-school program provides a diverse variety of activities for enrichment in art, music, science, sports, self esteem, environmental concerns, technology and career exploration. There are bands and choruses, sports teams, cheerleaders, and clubs. Monthly school dances are sponsored by the PTSA, who also sponsor special events like the Winter Carnival. I have been impressed with the Middle SchoolParent Review15y ago
