Tucked in the heart of one of Vermont's most charming and historic villages, famous for its Danby Marble, you'll find this beautifully renovated 1835 home with a private, landscaped backyard and the soothing sounds of the Mill Brook just beyond the fence. The setting is truly special: quiet, scenic, and rich in small town character, yet just 15 minutes to Manchester and 20 to Rutland. Enjoy energy efficiency too: this home has solar panels, keeping electric bills remarkably low year round. Originally owned by Pulitzer Prize winning author Pearl S. Buck, the home is filled with classic architectural details like tin ceilings, original built ins, and antique light fixtures, while over $200,000 in thoughtful upgrades make it completely move in ready. Step inside to a warm and inviting layout featuring a spacious living room with wood stove, a renovated kitchen with new appliances, insulation, and updated electrical, a formal dining room, an office, and a first floor bedroom and full bath. Upstairs, the newly reimagined primary suite offers peaceful brook views, a huge walk in closet, and a luxurious bathroom. Two additional bedrooms and a renovated bath complete the upper level. Additional updates include a standing seam roof, heat pumps, radon mitigation system, new chimney, hot water heater, structural work, and much more. The large, fenced yard with mature trees is perfect for relaxing, gardening, or entertaining with the sound of the brook creating a calming backdrop.
