Norwich, VT | 14 Olcott Road

Description

14 OLCOTT ROAD- This exquisite hip-roof Colonial, built by renowned craftsman Doug Gest, is a classic reproduction completed in 2007 and recently updated. It is privately situated at the end of a winding drive. Facing south with a long ell, it captures stunning, uninterrupted westerly views and sunsets. Immaculate inside and out, exceptional finish work and details are showcased throughout, from the hand carved staircase and ribbon mahogany flooring to the flame cherry paneling. Well-proportioned rooms, high ceilings, and abundant natural light create a graceful balance between open-concept living at the center of the house and more intimate spaces toward the front. Seamless flow between the kitchen, dining area, living room, screened porch, and fieldstone patio makes entertaining family and friends effortless. Upstairs, a gracious primary suite features a substantial, well-appointed bath, while two additional ensuite bedrooms complete the floor. A first-floor ensuite bedroom, and the five-bedroom septic design provides potential for future renovation or expansion. The grounds are equally impressive, with tasteful landscaping and handsome stone walls complementing the home’s classic architecture. There is a newly added Solaflect solar tracker and Tesla battery backup system. Ideally located just four minutes from Norwich Village and Dan & Whit’s, the property is also only a short drive from Hanover and Dartmouth College, providing a peaceful retreat without compromising proximity to Upper Valley amenities. Homes built and maintained with this degree of quality and care are truly rare.
