About This Home

As of June 2025

Looking for a home that was built with hand-crafted items including kitchen cupboards, flooring and woodwork? This home has many items made from reclaimed wood in the local area. The garage has 2 bays and a workshop above it to continue in the tradition of handcrafting. The 3 acres has concord grapes, raspberry, blueberry, blackberry bushes and apple trees along with a fenced-in garden area that has been there for many years, so the soil is rich with nutrients to feed your plants. Relax in the 3-4 season sunporch directly off the kitchen while you bask in the warmth of the sun. The covered porch on the front will allow you a shaded spot to sit and visit with company, read, eat dinner or do nothing but relax. The kitchen is large and has a beautiful hand-crafted bar or eat in the dining room that is adjacent to the living room with a wood stove to keep cozy during the winter months. This home is close to Norwich University (3 mins away) and downtown Northfield (4 mins away), along with easy access to I-89 just 4 mins away. This could be YOUR new home where wonderful memories are made. OFFER DEADLINE: SHOWINGS THROUGH SUNDAY MAY 18TH - ALL OFFERS NEED TO BE RECEIVED BY SUNDAY AT 9:00 PM WITH A DECISION DEADLINE OF MONDAY MAY 19TH AT 7PM.
