It’s the most wonderful time of the year…

August 26, 2010 by Leave a comment

The leaves are starting to change and the days are getting shorter which means its that time of the year again. Time for that fall breeze to blow in yet another school year. Norwich rooks head into the freezing cold brooks, crawling through the mud and worm pits as the brand new hell week begins. Meanwhile Spaulding reopens its doors, as the incoming freshman class too dives into new waters–bringing in a whole new generation of oversized backpacks clogging up the hallways for the upperclassmen who once did the same. The green lawns are all rolled out at Montpelier High School, albeit with some new athletic policies, one of which may keep some of their freshman off the varsity soccer field.

With the beautiful foliage fading into the background of all these new freshman experiences, Central Vermont is a great place to go to school and enjoy the autumn season. Interested in finding a home? Visit

47 North Main St receives tax credit

August 16, 2010 by Leave a comment

This past Friday a ceremony was held in front of the recently burned 47 North Main Street in downtown Barre. Governor Jim Douglas was present as well as several other state officials to announce the list of tax credit recipients, one of which was 47 North Main Street. The building dates back all the way to 1912. Many different types of businesses have occupied the building over the years, such as an insurance company, granite dealers, real estate, dentistry, dress maker and a bank. The building was nearly burned down by arsonists earlier this summer yet still stands, albeit in poor condition. Without the tax credit program, this historic building would’ve been demolished, but now has the opportunity to be restored.

Britain’s oldest house discovered

August 12, 2010 by Leave a comment

Archaeologists have recently uncovered the oldest house in Britain. It’s in a pleasant location, overlooking the lake at Star Carr, near Scarborough. The roof was made of thatched reeds and constructed of timber posts, among other very original features. Great for nomad hunters!

The house is believed to be about 11,000 years old, built about 6,000 years before the Stonehenge monument, and probably inhabited for 200-500 years. The site suggests the house was about 11.5 feet wide, yet still includes many artifacts, including an oar, arrow tips, deer skulls, as well as signs that they may have had domesticated dogs.

Are you interested in finding your own classic home in VT? Unfortunately BCK Real Estate doesn’t have any listing dating back 11,000 years, but visiting our website gives you the option of one-click search for any style home, such as Victorian. Check out

Barre starts reconstructing Main Street

August 10, 2010 by Leave a comment

The 3-year construction project known as The Big Dig is finally starting in downtown Barre, after years of waiting and wondering if it is ever going to happen. Costing nearly $17 million, the town also has a website providing updates on the long process called We Dig Barre. Monday they began ripping up the sidewalks and burying the power lines. By the end of the year there’ll be new traffic lights, a new parking lot off Corti Street, and a remodeled three-quarter mile long stretch of sidewalk.

With the brand new Main Street on the way, Barre is a great area to move in to. If you’re looking for a home in Central VT, check out
