With sweeping views of the Green Mountains and valley to the East and Mount Anthony immediately to the West, this restored ca. 1798 Federal Period Colonial farmhouse is quintessential Vermont. The property is 5.31 acres with mature landscaping, huge locust trees, rock walls, a pond stocked with Rainbow Trout, privacy and fantastic views of Southern Vermont Orchards. This home sits on 3.15 acres with an additional 2.16 acres directly across the road which ensures that no home will be built directly across the road blocking your views. An excellent vista of cows in the valley below and Green Mountains to the East is viewed from any front window. Most Period homes are located on busy roads. This home is in a quiet country setting with little traffic, yet is only a couple of miles from Bennington's center. The farmhouse has 3 to 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths with spacious livingroom and library. There are six fireplaces, of which five have dampers. All floors in the home are believed to be original wide pine with exception of the living/library which has screwed and capped, wide, T&G red oak laid during the 1938 renovation. The kitchen and both full baths were renovated during the past five years. The kitchen is a galley design for minimal intrusion into this period home design and has all updated appliances, granite counter tops and lots of cabinetry for storage. There are may closets, cupboards and linen press with the home to ensure storage for clothes and household items. A large walk in closet is provided for the lady of the house. Square footage of heated space is 2,650. The attic is fully floored and the cellar has concreted floors with drains. The fieldstone cellar has recently been re-pointed. There is a large detatched two car garage with unfinished but electrically wired room over the garage that provides spacious storage with apartment potential. There is approximately 6,000 Sq. Ft. of space under roof within the two buildings. Approxmately ninety percent of inside rooms have been updated and freshly painted. Septic tank (1000 Gal.) and new leach field were installed four years ago. Home has 200 amp. electrical service with separate system for garage. There is a central/monitored alarm system. Heating via oil fired boiler and steam radiators. Two property caretakers are at your service if they like you. Company transfer brings this lovely and very unique property to market. Almost forgot, second story sitting deck for viewing pond and orchard off back bedroom. Great for happy hour!
