This lovely family home was built in 1828 and is furnished with fine antiques. Located on nearly three acres of gardens, lawns and meadow, the house is just down the street from the historic Bennington Battle Monument in the Village of Old Bennington.
The first floor has a formal library-styled parlor, perfect for a quiet read. The family room, the original Old Kitchen, has a wood burning fireplace. It is a great place to gather for enjoying a drink and watching the fire or a bit of TV. Meals can be enjoyed in the separate dining room or in the newly updated kitchen at the antique kitchen table. One bedroom, with a new queen bed, and a full bathroom are also conveniently located on the first floor.
Upstairs, one bedroom overlooks the back garden through a big bay window. The two bedrooms have antique twin beds with new mattresses. A cozy TV room is also located upstairs. The sleeping porch is enclosed and usable throughout the winter. The upstairs full bath has a deep claw-footed tub. A half bath is adjacent to the sleeping porch.
There are many local Bennington attractions, including the Bennington Battle Monument, the Old First Church, where poet Robert Frost is buried, the Bennington Museum, which includes works of the famous primitive artist, Grandma Moses, the Covered Bridge Museum and the Bennington Pottery. Bennington College is a ten minute drive, through the Silk Bridge, one of Vermont's remaining working covered bridges.
Bennington is only twenty minutes from Manchester Center and outlet shopping. A twenty minute drive to the south is Williamstown, Massachusetts and the Clark Art Institute. Several ski areas, Stratton Mountain and Bromely, are also within an hour drive. The famous Vermont Country Store, in Weston, Vermont is an easy 45 minute drive. |
