This home is distinct in historic character, its story beginning over 200 years ago. This 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom cape, with 1st floor bedroom & bath, is in an idealized setting, just a stroll to the center of picturesque Newfane Village, and quick drive to Brattleboro's vibrant Main Street. Contemporized in-part, much of the home retains its authenticity. The first floor is bright & expansive with an open contempt design of country-kitchen, dining room and living room that flow as one grand room. Its bank of windows looks onto the expansive yard, and the serenity of the woods and rambling brook. Enjoy this beauty from the comfortable screened-in porch or from the glorious, free-standing deck built out over the stream. The vaulted ceiling addition, once used as a retail shop, has a separate entrance, bath and a loft that leads to an additional large, second floor room. This addition provides an opportunity for a generously sized, private living space or studio. There is a new, spacious second building, ideal for any use you could possibly need or imagine. All of this is comfortingly not in the flood plain. If you are looking to live the dream of Vermont's beauty and charm, here is your opportunity, but it's an opportunity that will not wait. Don't linger. In the annals of this property's long history, this will be your chapter to write.
