Description:
This 1790 historic cape is waiting to reclaim a splendor and idyllic beauty of decades past. Your efforts for its needed "Place-lift" will be well rewarded. Structurally and mechanically sound, the home is fully modernized ready for its next phase of upgrade, remodeling and energized vision, all to be executed at your own pace over time. The first floor has been reconstructed with an open concept design and touches of artistry. It flows from the natural light filled kitchen to the great-room combining dining and living room. A wall of continuous windows overlooks the lazy Smith Brook and woods beyond. This calm radiates into the interior. The home's elevation places it comfortingly above the flood plain. The first floor has a bedroom, bath and laundry. Two dormered bedrooms and full bath are on the second floor. An addition to the main house can incorporate more living space or can be ideal as a professional office or Bed & Breakfast. This has its own entrance and is uniquely designed with bath, vaulted ceiling, loft and an over-sized second floor bonus room. Heated with a wood stove and electrical wall units, it is ready for creative re-utilization. A second structure of substantial design provides 880 sq ft of additional space and includes a direct access, drive-in basement. But, it is the setting that TRULY sets this property apart. Imagine all of this as yours: two acres of open, sunny lawn; the soothing babbling of a meandering brook; a swimming hole & gardens wanting to be reclaimed; an easy stroll into Newfane center and Dutton's farmstand; a 10 minute drive to downtown Brattleboro along the spectacularly scenic West River (a drive to die for); and roughly 30 minutes to the ski mountains. If you have the desire, here is your opportunity, and really, how often will opportunity present itself?
