The Magic of Camelot School: 40145 Main Street in Waterford

I am thrilled to introduce this remarkable property to the market: a two-story, V-notched log dwelling of extraordinary provenance, set on a generous quarter-acre lot on Main Street, in the heart of one of America's most intact National Historic Landmark Districts.

A Singular Piece of Waterford History

Set on a rare quarter-acre lot in the heart of our National Historic Landmark District, 40145 Main Street is a home that lives up to its legendary name. Known as "Camelot School," this V-notched log dwelling is one of the village’s most recognizable and authentically preserved treasures.

With six rooms across two stories, two full baths, and approximately 1,148 square feet of living space plus a 324 square foot finished basement, the home offers the intimate scale that defines village life at its finest — room enough to live beautifully, small enough to feel genuinely connected to your surroundings.

Historic Soul, Modern Comfort

The house is a rare example of V-notched log construction — a building technique that survives in precious few properties on Main Street today. The two-story form, with its stone foundation and finished basement, speaks to the practical ingenuity of early American builders who understood that quality materials and honest craftsmanship were the best investments a community could make.

Originally built c. 1800 as a weaver’s cottage, the home was later meticulously restored and expanded in the seventies by the Chamberlin family—the very architects of Waterford’s modern preservation movement.

Today, it offers a perfect balance of architectural rarity and everyday livability:

• Rare Architecture:  One of the few original V-notched log homes remaining on Main Street.

• Flexible Space:  6 rooms across two levels, including a 324 sq. ft. finished basement perfect for a gym, media room, or wine cellar.

• The Village Lot:  At a quarter-acre, you have actual room for gardens and outdoor entertaining—a luxury in the heart of the village.

• Modern Amenities:  Updated heating, a cozy fireplace, and two full baths mean you don't have to sacrifice comfort for character.
