56 Elm StreetNorwich, VT 05055Sale Price: $1,375,000

Village living at its best! This 1850s expanded cape has been lovingly cared for and updated to provide function and flexibility in a location that simply cannot be beat. Located just a stones throw from the Norwich Green and Marion Cross School, 56 Elm Street is exceptionally private yet close to everything. The original house has been updated to include a stunning main floor en-suite bedroom, with a brand new shower. The barn has been absorbed into the living space, with a soapstone wood stove as the centerpiece of the great room. The heart of any country property is the kitchen, and this one does not disappoint: re-done by local builder Peter French, it has tremendous functionality while maintaining the charm of days gone by. Upstairs, there are 4 bedrooms and 3 baths, providing flexibility for groups of all sizes when the family and friends come to visit. Out back, the property abuts the Warner Meadow, a conserved parcel in the center of town which allows for recreational opportunities year-round. With two thirds of an acre of land (which is quite large for an in-town property) it feels more like ten acres: true peace and privacy yet so close to everything. Whether entertaining a large group or simply staying warm by the fire alone, this home and property evoke the stunning history of in-town farms in the amazing village of Norwich, VT. Showings begin 3/1 after 1pm.
