About this home
This home is distinct in historic character, its story beginning over 200 years ago. This 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom cape, with 1st floor bedroom & bath, is in an idealized setting, just a stroll to the center of picturesque Newfane Village, and quick drive to Brattleboro’s vibrant Main Street. Contemporized in-part, much of the home retains its authenticity. The first floor is bright & expansive with an open contempt design of country-kitchen, dining room and living room that flow as one grand room. Its bank of windows looks onto the expansive yard, and the serenity of the woods and rambling brook. Enjoy this beauty from the comfortable screened-in porch or from the glorious, free-standing deck built out over the stream. The vaulted ceiling addition, once used as a retail shop, has a separate entrance, bath and a loft that leads to an additional large, second floor room. This addition provides an opportunity for a generously sized, private living space or studio. There is a new, spacious second building, ideal for any use you could possibly need or imagine. All of this is comfortingly not in the flood plain. If you are looking to live the dream of Vermont’s beauty and charm, here is your opportunity, but it’s an opportunity that will not wait. Don’t linger. In the annals of this property’s long history, this will be your chapter to write.

Antique cape sits on a pretty side street at the edge of Newfane Village. Rare to find a 2 acre lot in-town with long frontage on the Smith Brook, some privacy and sweet open level yard space. Walk to the market, post office, library and concerts and plant sales on the common. Commuting is easy with quick access to route 30. Circa 1790, old home enthusiasts will appreciate classic features including hardware, fixtures, hand-hewn beams, wide pine floors and built-ins. Kitchen is bright and open to the large living/dining with a wall of windows that overlooks the brook. Screened porch just off the living room-sit with your morning coffee or to watch the kids play in the large level, fenced yard. Suite space on one end of the house with own entrances was formerly an apartment. Separate 3-story building completes this property, on grade and only steps away from the main house it needs some updating but offers tons of potential. With existing sign hardware on the corner of Back St. & Route 30 this could serve as a great artist or yoga studio, workshop or office with tons of storage above and a walk out floor below, could be a home business opportunity. Some work to be done to maintain this classic gem but the location alone is worth the effort.
