This 1790's colonial is sited on a lovely 0.78 acre lot replete with perennial gardens, a spacious back yard and babbling brook! Nestled conveniently between Brattleboro, Vermont and Keene, NH, this home is a stone's throw away from the top-rated Chesterfield School. The open living area is unusual for historic homes, and is perfect for entertaining and families. Downstairs features a remodeled kitchen with propane stove and stainless steel appliances, a mud room/pantry with HE washer/dryer and half bath, traditional New England parlor, formal dining room and all-season sunroom that looks out over the brook and woods. Upstairs includes a large master bedroom with sitting area and fireplace, 3 more ample bedrooms, remodeled bathroom and an additional spare room that would serve as a lovely crafting space or reading nook. Active families will love the close proximity to Pisgah Park and Spofford Lake, both less than 5 minutes away, and a newly drilled well (12/2019) assures you will always have an abundance of fresh, clean water. Enjoy summers on the back deck and watch the fireflies compete with the stars for your attention, or snuggle up near the wood stove in winter. Period details include original wide plank flooring, gunstock corners, wainscoting and built-ins galore, making this home truly a must-see. Own a piece of history while enjoying the conveniences of modern living!
