About This Home

As of July 2023

Antique Cape located in one of Vermont's most magical places, where historic preservation can be seen and felt as you drive along the winding roadways leading into Grafton. This 200-year-old Vermont farmhouse has been brought into the 21st century and has been cherished and loved by its owner and friends who have called it home. The extra large living room has a wood burning fireplace, a lovely picture window that overlooks the side yard and built-in bookshelves. The open kitchen features stainless appliances, Vermont soap stone counters, a breakfast bar and fireplace with gas-fire connection. The dining room comfortably seats 14 and offers a huge walk-in pantry with shelving galore. There are three beautiful bedrooms and 2.5 modern bathrooms. The main floor bedroom has an en-suite bathroom with heated floors, and a handcrafted barn door. Updated half bath offers convenient main floor laundry. Lovely antique stairwell leads to a second floor with two charming bedrooms, hall bath with built-ins, and large landing with built-in bookshelves. A bonus room over the garage is perfect for guests, private quiet space or home office. The grounds are lush and inviting with established perennial gardens, prolific blueberry bushes, apple trees, raised garden beds, fire pit, and two gorgeous stone patios that provide lots of seating options. The upper patio enjoys beautiful views over the Saxtons River and mountain ridgelines beyond. Views of fall foliage are spectacular.
