One look at this sweet residence with numerous high windows and ceilings, crown molding and hard wood floors throughout and you will know you are home. Enter through your choice of two covered porches into the foyer or galley style kitchen with butcher block counter tops, plenty of cabinet space and built in book case. The large sunny open living room features a wood burning fireplace for cozy nights and ambiance and includes a corner dining nook. Two nice sized bedrooms and renovated full bath complete this unique offering on .56 acres in a prime historic country neighborhood surrounded by stone walls, lilac bushes and just a stones throw from the Henry Bridge, North Bennington and the Walloomsac River. This is a true gem if ever there was one. A pleasure to show.
