Set on a dead-end road, the property enjoys the rare balance of peaceful country living and everyday convenience, all within moments of the local store, hospital, pharmacy, bank, and neighboring homes. Inside, you will be welcomed with warmth, timeless craftsmanship, and inviting living spaces designed for both gathering and everyday ease. The gracious foyer is anchored by the original staircase with its elegant handrail and simple period balusters. At the same time, the fanlight transom above the front door adds a distinctive architectural detail reflective of the home’s Federal heritage. The formal living room centers on a decorative fireplace. Separately, there is a den for less formal times and could be used as a formal dining room, while the eat-in farmhouse kitchen offers the kind of relaxed space where mornings begin slowly, and guests naturally linger. An enclosed three-season sunporch provides a peaceful retreat to enjoy changing seasons, pastoral surroundings, and evening dinners. The flexible floor plan includes a main-level bedroom, bath, and laundry room, along with an exterior handicap ramp for added accessibility and convenience. A practical mudroom connects daily life to the home’s historic elegance with ease. Outside, the property continues to impress with an attached car barn, a substantial detached barn with a loft and workshop area ideal for equipment, hobbies, or recreational storage, plus an additional separate workshop building offering even more versatility for craftspeople, collectors, or outdoor enthusiasts. Rich with heritage yet comfortably updated for modern living, this home invites you to settle in, slow down, and enjoy the enduring beauty and understated sophistication of Vermont country life.
