Description

Welcome to this historic, light-filled four bedroom beauty. This Victorian vintage home truly has it all, including a spacious, fenced-in private backyard, two enclosed sun porches, a large first floor laundry room, updated kitchen, attached garage and home office space. The unfinished third floor quarters offer additional space for your creative dreams, such as an apartment or short-term rental. Improvements made by the current owners include, but are not limited to: 34 new windows throughout the house, updated electric, new paved parking area, a kitchen renovation and a sun porch restoration with a new French door off the primary bedroom. Another compelling bonus feature is the attached carriage house that still retains so much historic beauty and character. The current owners use it as a workshop but it would make a gorgeous art studio. This home has been in possession by only three families since 1850 and has retained its most elegant architectural features such as the truly breathtaking late Victorian grand staircase. Centrally located in the charming village of Bellows Falls - its a short walk to the village and all it has to offer: restaurants, movie theater, three cafes, a coffee roaster, galleries, Amtrak (daily route to NYC), antiques, an organic green grocer, two independent bookstores and art galleries. Its an equally short walk to the town forest, mountain biking trails, pump track, town pool, tennis courts AND the elementary and middle school.
