SHOWINGS START 9/5 at the first open house. Welcome to this classic New England Cape, privately tucked away on a small private way and surrounded by a serene, wooded setting. From the moment you arrive, this home offers a rustic, comfortable feel with timeless character throughout. Step inside through the Vermont slate breezeway, where tall ceilings and exposed beams create a warm and inviting first impression. The spacious, expanded kitchen offers abundant storage, generous counter space, a well-appointed backsplash, and a charming coffee nook. The adjoining dining area provides the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee. The inviting living room features beautiful hardwood floors and a large wood-burning fireplace, creating a cozy gathering space that opens to a peaceful screened-in porch overlooking the private surroundings. A first-floor bedroom offers flexibility as a guest room or home office, while the recently renovated bathroom blends beautifully with the home's classic style. Upstairs, you'll find three additional bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite with cathedral ceilings and excellent storage. The two additional bedrooms also offer generous closet space. Above the garage, bonus space provides endless possibilities for a studio, hobby area, playroom, or home office. Though unheated, it benefits from residual warmth from the pellet stove in the foyer. Outside, enjoy multiple spaces for relaxing and entertaining, including a large hardscape patio, screened porch, established flower gardens, and vegetable garden. A truly special property designed for enjoying all the beauty and charm of New England's seasons.

ADU Potential

Based on listing data, which indicates the property type — not the zoning district. Local dimensional, septic (Title 5), and historic-district requirements still apply. Not legal advice — verify with the municipality.

Estimates — not financial advice

These figures are illustrative estimates for informational purposes only — not an appraisal, valuation, or guarantee of rent, income, or returns, and not financial, tax, or investment advice. Rent is either the figure reported on the MLS listing — in-place rent that may differ from market and is not verified against the actual leases — or, where the listing reports none, an estimate from HUD Small Area Fair Market Rents, a government benchmark that may differ from actual market rent. Each figure is labelled with its source. Cap rate, NOI, and returns depend on the assumptions shown, which you can change. MLS and other third-party data may be inaccurate or out of date. Verify all figures independently and consult your own financial, tax, and legal advisors before making any investment decision.
