Come home to this beautiful light-filled farmhouse located in the desirable “tree streets” neighborhood, with the Retreat trails practically out the back door. Just a half mile to downtown Brattleboro and to I-91, and 1 mile to the farmer’s market, this house couldn’t be more conveniently located, with a perfect blend of nature access and in-town living. Built circa 1880, this delightful farmhouse has been lovingly updated for the 21st century and is move-in ready. Upstairs is a master bedroom with french doors to a sitting room or office that looks out to the woods, a second bedroom with a skylight, and a full bath with built-ins and a soaking tub. The first floor has a bright and spacious kitchen, an open-concept living room/dining room, an office/den with a private entrance, another a bedroom (or study) with extensive built-ins, and a full bathroom with laundry. There are three covered porches, a beautiful slate roof, and a detached 2-car garage that has a full second story for storage or whatever you have in mind. The sunny front yard is lush with edible landscaping including mature fruit trees, bushes and vines (apple, peach, cherry, elderberry, blueberry, thornless blackberry, red and yellow raspberries, seedless red and green grapes, red and pink champagne currants), as well as flowers (perennials and annuals), herbs, and vegetables. The backyard, originally designed by Gordon Hayward, features well-established perennial woodland gardens and gorgeous stonework including stairs and terracing. Closer to the house, just out the large sliding glass doors to the backyard, is a lovely stone patio and a mid-process landscaping project awaiting your green thumb (or follow up with one of the two garden design professionals who already drew up conceptual plans). Showings start Thursday, September 23 and all offers are due by noon on Monday, September 27. Call today to set up a showing and see this place for yourself. We look forward to seeing you soon!
