This turn of the century Newport home has undergone extensive renovations which accentuate the original beauty of the home while offering modern updates to areas such as the kitchen and baths. Careful attention was taken in this project to protect the original character and detail of items such as the hardwood floors, tin ceilings and beadboard cabinets. Modern updates include a lovely country kitchen, master suite with a gorgeous master bathroom, and the former attic is now a kids' or quest's dream! Efficiency was not forgotten with added insulation, updated windows and a top of the line propane hot water heating system. The 3-sided wraparound porch leads you to the back patio where the views over the meadow to Lake Memphremagog are gorgeous. The 15 acre lot encompasses a hay field, wild apple trees, woods, access to the VAST trail and a lovely stream. This vintage country retreat is only a mile from downtown Newport and International Lake Memphremagog. Skiers, riders, golfers, skaters and thrill seekers will appreciate that this home is only 20-25 minutes from Jay Peak Resort. This unique property must be seen to appreciate. Furnishings Negotiable.
