Description
Pawlet Perfection! High on a quiet country road, surrounded by open meadows, is that rare combination of peaceful country retreat and grand historic home. This enchanting compound sitting on 15 acres with protected view-shed (covenants), includes a classic 1817 Federal farmhouse, a dramatic two story barn, original blacksmith shop, milk house, open tractor shed, and other functional outbuildings, ripe for cottage conversion. Sensitively restored and updated for modern living, the residence offers crisp spacious rooms with high ceilings and beautiful historic details like original wrought iron hardware and wide plank flooring. The gracious floor plan includes a wide center hall and wide staircase that's surrounded by an elegant living room, a library with floor-to-ceiling built-in bookshelves on every wall, with a passthrough into the formal dining room, and first floor bedroom/study with an adjacent full bath. All of these rooms boast expansive closets and wood-burning fireplaces with original marble hearths. A mid 19th century addition houses the modern kitchen with new Italian appliances, multiple pantries, and a large breakfast area wrapped in a wall of windows facing the exquisite westerly sunset vistas. Upstairs, four large BRs with two window exposures and generous closets plus a bath w/ walk-in shower round out this comfortable home. The attic is finished providing functional art/work space and storage. High-speed fiber and updated mechanicals, including radiant heat throughout the entire first floor. A Peaceful Four Season Paradise minutes to Pawlet Village, nearby Dorset & Manchester amenities, plus hiking, skiing, rail trail, equestrian pursuits, lake and river recreation, farmers markets, music, art & theater! Additional 16 acres available with state waste water permit for a 5 bedroom home with buried electric and junction box on site. The dream rural, yet, convenient compound is a true treasure!
