This historical property is a Cornwall landmark, perched above the road looking out across the valley and mountains beyond!Surrounded by the most wonderful gardens & meadow ,the owners have created a true homestead.The brick,Federal style home was built in 1800, with a wood clapboard addition in the 1980s & early 2000s, that provided an ample kitchen, welcoming sunroom & downstairs bath.This classic home has all that you would expect-wood floors throughout, beautiful trim details, and built in cabinetry. Recent upgrades include new windows, new furnace, basement weatherization, attic insulation, and a new roof!Entering through the mudroom with slate floor and built in storage, you arrive in the living room, flooded with natural light.The kitchen has a soapstone wood stove and sitting area for casual dining, as well as being open to the dining room with built in cabinetry and wood burning fireplace.This level would not be complete without a good sized office, 1/2 bath and the cheery sunroom- that leads right to the back stone patio.Upstairs you will find the master suite with 3/4 bath and walk in closet, with two-three additional bedrooms, depending on how you use the space!The tour is not complete until you walk the grounds, including a stroll by the inground pool for those hot summer days. Ground mounted solar panels will cover your electricity costs and then some, as they are owned and included in the sale. Additional land available. All this and close to Middlebury!
