4655 Vt Route 14Calais, VT 05650Price: $345,000

Live in the heart of East Calais, where time slows down and mornings start with mist rising off the water. Perched above the Kingsbury Branch in a village where neighbors still wave and the general store is your go-to for good coffee, this home has been loved, and it shows. The backyard dips gently to a peaceful pond (soon to be a lively stream once a nearby dam removal rewrites the landscape), making this a place that shifts with the seasons. Inside, smart updates blend comfort with efficiency: a heat pump with mini splits keeps things cozy year-round, a new heat pump water heater does the heavy lifting behind the scenes, and the roof? It's a 50-year composite beauty. That's peace of mind built right in. Whether you're sipping something hot while overlooking the water or popping down the street for a sandwich and conversation at the newly revived East Calais General Store, this home invites you to slow down, settle in, and savor the Vermont life.
