Charm and character radiate from this historic 1830 home in the heart of Grafton. The antique, yet modernized cape, boasts 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and ample living space. Enter the home through a screened-in porch off the driveway & step into the large kitchen with wide-plank softwood floors, VT soapstone countertops, breakfast bar, and fireplace that anchors the room. The kitchen opens into a large dining area for entertaining, with a charming window seat flanked by bookshelves & built-ins. Continue into the first-floor primary suite, looking out to the lovely gardens. Upstairs, find two bedrooms that share a full bathroom. Back downstairs, find a half bath and laundry on the first floor for convenience. Continue into the spacious living room with a wood-burning fireplace and bookshelves, the perfect spot for a home office or game nights with friends. Upstairs, enjoy a tucked-away bonus space above the garage for a private guest room or peaceful retreat. From the living room and kitchen, access the stone patio outside with ample room for dining. Retreat to the top of the property and enjoy a cup of coffee or nightcap next to the bonfire pit, taking in the long mountain and Saxtons River views. Enjoy the fully fenced outdoor space with peace of mind while you garden, pick your own berries and apples, or play yard games. This quintessential Vermont home is a must-see, whether for year-round living or as a seasonal retreat close to the downtown of Grafton.
