Nestled on 11.5 picturesque acres in the heart of Bakersfield sits this charming 1850s farmhouse.

Inside, wide-plank pine floors flow throughout, creating a cozy, timeless feel. A pellet stove in the living room ensures comfort through the chilly Vermont winters, while the efficient eat-in kitchen, complete with a stainless range, wood stove, open shelving, and oak floors, is perfect for home-cooked meals. The sunken den features wood ceilings and breathtaking views of the Bakersfield Valley and Laraway and Belvidere mountains, with direct access to a back deck ideal for summer relaxation.

Outside, a massive 52' x 36' barn with electricity and two levels adds endless potential for storage, hobbies, or livestock. With recent updates including a new furnace (2021), water heater (2024), standing seam roof (2001), and leachfield (2010), this home is a well-cared-for Vermont gem.
