LOVERS OF HISTORICAL PERIOD GREEK REVIVAL HOMES will take joy in this faithfully and historically maintained home a few minutes to the center of all that Manchester Vermont has to offer! Built in 1849, the true touches of pine flooring, period window mullions, eyebrow transoms and side lights will delight you as you pass by the center stairway. You will be warmed in the living room by the oversized Jotul woodstove and the sense of authenticity underfoot and all around you as you glance out the large artisanal divided glass windows to the pillared porch and the beckoning gazebo beyond. Now retreat into the classic private parlor with true 19th century bifold doors entered with the touch of period cast iron. The large eat-in kitchen with tastefully selected "Attention to Detail" self-closing cabinets with porcelain Bennington knobs illuminated by interesting windows and plenty of room to sit and eat! A bedroom and full bath round out the first floor amenities. As you ascend to the second floor you come into a delightful sitting area which leads to the Master Suite, from where you can glimpse Mount Aeolus. There are also two more bedrooms, a bath on this floor, and two large storage areas. BONUS ALERT: A complete in-law apartment accessed separately for guests, or enjoy great rental income! Move quickly and you will see the lovingly tended perennial garden of irises, hydrangeas, day lilies, lilacs and peonies blossom forth in your new home!
