34 Monument Ave, Bennington, VT 05201

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.

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.
