Description

Imagine owning a historic home with classic period details but thoughtfully merged with modern amenities. This circa 1850 home has been in the family for generations but has roots back to the Green Mountain Boys and the East Dorset railroad. The original home greets you with a full frontal mahogany porch overlooking the marble walkway. Formal front hall with center staircase, dining room on one side, parlor on the other.

This circa 1850 home has been in the family for generations but has roots back to the Green Mountain Boys and the East Dorset railroad. The original home greets you with a full frontal mahogany porch overlooking the marble walkway. Formal front hall with center staircase, dining room on one side, parlor on the other. Upstairs are 4 bedrooms with high ceilings and a timeless tiled bath with brass fixtures. What was presumably the kitchen is now a study or library with pellet stove and charming bath with claw foot tub and wainscoting. Pass through to the newer addition where once the original barn stood to the beautiful kitchen with accent lighting, custom cabinetry, skylight and storage packed center island. This opens to the family room warmed with a woodstove and wood floors with direct access to the attached garage. Upstairs a master ensuite with laundry. Level yard for gardening or playing. Potential for a multi-family, bed & breakfast, or investment property. E. Dorset is a charming hamlet with proximity to hiking trails, an apple orchard, blueberry farm, Emerald Lake State Park, and the VT Summer Horse Festival. Easy drive to Rutland or Bennington and everything in between. High School choice!
