Vermont Modern - Charlotte, Vermont
Handbuilt in 1968
Hand built by Carl L. Bausch, Jr. in 1968, the property features a main house and a studio for his
artist wife. While an innovative structure with amazing light, scale, and setting, the home needed
lots of work. We set off on a journey to thoughtfully update this architectural gem to fit its new
role as a family home and Airbnb in the verdant and charming town of Charlotte, VT.
In the dining room, Cox created what she likes to
call a color corridor by drenching the walls in berry-
hued paint—a move that gave the illusion that the
barely 8-foot-tall ceilings are a little bit higher than
they actually are.
Constructed in 1968 by architect Carl L. Bausch, Jr., it features slit windows that are almost as
tall as the wood-burning stove’s chimney, cantilevered skylights that drench the living area in
sunshine, and stilts that support the shingle-clad structure.
