The crown jewel of historic downtown Orwell, VT, this majestic Italianate home has been a watchful sentinel over the heart of village for over 150 years. You'll marvel at the fine craftsmanship and attention to detail throughout this 3,600+ sq. ft. home. 10'8” ceilings, hardwood floors, rich wood trim and solid 6 panel doors are just a few of the characteristics of this meticulously maintained home. The west side of the home features and inviting covered porch to sit and enjoy the mountain views and sunsets as you overlook your sprawling 3.96 acre lot. The first floor layout features eat-in kitchen, formal dining room, parlor, music room, study, full bath complete with claw-foot tub, laundry room, pantry, butler's pantry and master bedroom with en suite bath. Upstairs you'll find room for everyone with 3 more bedrooms, another full bath, plus a really neat '2 room-hideaway area', great for a home office, playroom or just more sleeping space. Horses anyone? This nearly 4 acre lot features a large barn with stable area, hay loft, 2 bay garage and work shop area. The 'back yard' still features all the post and gates for horse paddocks (just re-string the electric fence and your back in business). The original 'ice house' makes for a great storage building or root cellar. Village zoning allows for a home business or other potential commercial uses, so you really must see this home to appreciate all the fine features and benefits this property has to offer.
