CLASSIC NEW ENGLAND FARMHOUSE RENOVATED WITH STYLE AND CHARM! Lush gardens surround this 1806 treasure on .65 acre, tucked privately in an idyllic Vermont village. The center hall cape includes 3 bedrooms plus a tiled-floor bath on each floor, one funky and one chic. The cook's kitchen is centered with a handsome, wide soapstone-topped island which houses a ss gas range with modern hood. The kitchen flows seamlessly to the open dining room and on into the living room. Here you'll find a cozy fireplace surrounded by Verdi antique stone panels and flanked by stained glass windows. Wood floors anchor this gracious room and run through the downstairs. Three generous-sized bedrooms, including the primary bedroom on the first floor, are punctuated with vintage details. Upstairs floors are pretty pumpkin pine. Numerous closets, an old-fashioned pantry, a first floor laundry room, and an attached large shed leading to a one car garage provide tons of storage. A walk-up attic over the shed adds even more potential. A second detached garage contains one bay open to a spacious workshop. Even the chicken coop displays New England style and sports a standing seam roof while the yard features an old smokehouse! A fieldstone patio overlooking flower gardens is ideal for al fresco dining. The westerly facing front porch is a pleasant spot to relax with a good book and take in peeks of the distant mountain view. House has been fully insulated according to Efficiency Vermont guidelines. Sweet!
