In the summer, enjoy...This nicely renovated farmhouse is located within a short distance to the village center and the Wheel Inn Restaurant and within 4 miles of Lake Champlain with access at Benson Landing. The home has all the charm of those built in the mid and late 1800s including beautiful plank flooring, an eat-in kitchen for gathering, and glass French doors separating the living room from the den. A pellet stove sits at the center of the home offering a wonderful warm heat in Vermont winters! In the summer, enjoy conversation on the front covered porch that was part of the charm of these vintage homes. There is a first floor bedroom and bath with 1 more bedroom and office on the second level with another bath and laundry. The detached garage is an added bonus for a home business or workshop with above storage. This space can be heated with either a wood stove or a waste oil furnace. The half-acre lot is generous for a village lot and boasts a deep back yard with outbuildings. Route 22A is only a short distance providing easy commutes to south to Fair Haven, and then east to the Rutland and Middlebury areas. New Generac generator included.
