Affectionately known as the "Watson House" for many years, this spacious house has been a community care home for decades. In the last year, the home has closed and now is ready for it's next purpose. Original structure is rumored to be a Sears "kit home" with the Craftsman era character. The addition added on a few decades ago is huge and has a large living area and 10 bedrooms each with attached bathroom, closet, emergency call button and individual heat. The large open hallway is open and bright. There is a concrete ramp entrance from the back. Front entrance is the old house charm. Upstairs has several more bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Massive, dry unfinished basement could have many uses. The possibilities are there for many things. This home is just a short walk to Bennington college campus and trails, also the other direction to the quaint Village of North Bennington. right next door is the fully renovated "Writers Retreat". It a special place ready for the next chapter.
