About This Home
As of July 2021According to the Putney Historical Society, this historic house in the heart of the old village center, is a rare example of an 18th Century Vermont brick store with the Georgian style. The original hand-hewed ceiling beams are featured throughout the first floor along with original wide pine floorboards. While the house retains its antique charm, it is entirely updated with new interior walls providing modern R value insulation, replacement windows, all new plumbing, heating, wiring and ventilation, and a whole-house generator. The well is new and there is a modern connection to town waste. The current owners completed the renovations and include a rear deck and patio, and added a new wing to provide a mud room, along with a new sun room, flex space on the first floor currently configured as two studios, and a generous second floor master bedroom. Throughout the additions, pine floors are employed as in the original building. All new mechanicals, modern insulation for winter comfort and economy, classic views of a winding stream and lawn with forest beyond. A generous, sunny yard offers space for gardening, animals and play. The current owners invested several hundred thousand in upgrades. The house is 0.8 miles from the Putney General Store and a very short walk to Putney Central School, town forest, and community swimming pool. The Putney School is 5 minutes by car and The Grammar School is 3 minutes away. Showings begin 5/2/21
