Bennington is a great small town rich in history where you will find the Contoocook River. Students attend the wonderful schools in the Contoocook School District. Full of timeless charm and character, this unspoiled Village Colonial offers warm, inviting spaces and the opportunity to make it your own. Inside, you’ll find lovely, homey rooms accented by wood flooring and original details that reflect the home’s classic New England heritage. The kitchen is typical for an antique colonial with plenty of storage, a tin ceiling, and a view of the side yard. With five bedrooms, there is plenty of space for a growing family, guests, or flexible use such as a home office or hobby room. Currently, there is a first-floor bedroom that could be turned back to its original parlor. There is a "mudroom" where you will find the laundry, a walk-up attic, plenty of sitting areas, and space to spread out. Adding to its appeal is a spacious 18x28 barn, perfect for hobbyists, storage, or workshop space. The property is connected to town water and sewer, adding everyday convenience to its historic appeal. The location in Bennington is convenient to Crotched Mountain for skiing, hiking trails, and recreation. The close proximity to Peterborough for shopping, dining, and the arts as well as Hillsborough and Concord, are bonuses. The residence could be converted to two units. A rare chance to bring new life to a charming village home with great bones, character, and potential.
