196 Douglas Rd, Norwich, VT 05055

196 Douglas Road brings together all the elements of an exceptional country home. Located in a well-established neighborhood of other fine Norwich properties, the setting is private but still just minutes from the center of Norwich Village, Dartmouth College, and downtown Hanover, NH. The interior is a combination of both formal and informal spaces with a focus on flow, volume, and an open floor plan where it counts. The social center of the home is the spacious eat-in kitchen with a dramatic Viking range and hood and the great room with a cathedral ceiling and wood-burning fireplace. Oversized twelve over twelve windows, open hallways and long sight lines, strategically placed skylights, and a southerly orientation bring abundant natural light to every corner of the interior. A formal living room, dining room, dramatic entry, office, mudroom, half bath and 3-season screened porch complete the first floor. The second floor of the main house offers three bedrooms, a shared bath, and a spacious primary bedroom suite with a fireplace, a walk-in closet, and large en-suite bathroom plus an attached, sunny private office/sitting room. The landscaping of the ten-acre lot features extensive, terraced gardens with established perennials, abundant stonewalls and pathways, stone patios and sitting areas to enjoy the mountain views,  a pond,  open lawn and recreation space, fenced vegetable and herb gardens, and a charming potting shed graced with a rose bower. Showings start 7/9/22.
