Description

This lovingly restored Cape Cod home with an apartment is everything you would imagine living in Vermont would be like. Nestled a minutes’ drive from Dorset, which O magazine listed in the top 20 of the most charming towns to visit, this home is a hidden gem with a quiet and secluded backyard surrounded by raised bed English gardens, paths, bridges and a brook that you can hear from every window in the house. Sit on the back porch or the gazebo and feel like you are miles away from the busy world,...This lovingly restored Cape Cod home with an apartment is everything you would imagine living in Vermont would be like. Nestled a minutes’ drive from Dorset, which O magazine listed in the top 20 of the most charming towns to visit, this home is a hidden gem with a quiet and secluded backyard surrounded by raised bed English gardens, paths, bridges and a brook that you can hear from every window in the house. Sit on the back porch or the gazebo and feel like you are miles away from the busy world, yet you are only a walk or a bike ride away from a dip in the quarry, the Sunday Farmer’s Market or shopping in two of the finest country stores in the state. Come see for yourself . All measurements are approximate.
