The peaceful and enchanting setting of this former Bed & Breakfast belies its proximity to CT River recreation, restaurants, shopping, theater and music.The meandering drive from the road to the sprawling house on 26 acres takes you past a lush meadow, stone walls, stately trees and lovely plantings. You might enter the house through a large foyer/mudroom; a place to sit and remove your boots and to hang your coat. The oversized country kitchen offers lots of space for a crowd to prepare food and to dine and it's adjacent to a full size service pantry. From the kitchen you can access a screened porch and multi-level decking which overlook the lower perennial gardens and steps leading to a gazebo. The kitchen opens to a family room with fireplace and a living room with fireplace as well. There are five bedrooms and five & a half bathrooms in the house. The downstairs bedroom wing includes a bedroom with a handicap accessible bathroom, additional bedrooms and baths on the second floor. There are wood floors throughout the house and the first floor has central air. Storage provided by a 12x20 equipment building and a 1 1/2 story 2 car attached garage. Enjoy the retreat with friends and family, hold seminars and workshops or simply appreciate the peace and solitude, including the meditation rock. How about a barn and some goats and chickens? Make it your home and your dreams. The Putney School, The Grammar School, Vermont Academy and Landmark College are close by.
