About this 2 bedroom 2 bath house

Located beside the White River, with world-class fly fishing and iconic swimming holes just steps away, this thoughtfully remodeled historic farmhouse is equally appealing as an affordable starter home or a cozy vacation retreat. The main level has been extensively updated with a reimagined floor plan, replacement windows, added insulation, new drywall, fresh paint, and beautifully refinished original hardwood floors. The updated kitchen features new cabinetry, repurposed countertops, hardwood flooring, and a convenient pass-through to the spacious living room, where gleaming hardwood floors and a cozy wood stove create a warm, inviting atmosphere. The main-level full bath also serves as a laundry room and provides direct access to the attached woodshed, making it easy to tend the fire on snowy winter evenings without ever stepping outside. Upstairs, a second full bathroom adds comfort and convenience for the bright primary and guest bedrooms. The full basement houses the home's mechanical systems, including a newer forced hot-air furnace for reliable, efficient heating. An enclosed front porch provides the perfect place to unwind while taking in spectacular sunsets over the Green Mountains. Conveniently located just minutes from historic downtown Rochester, you'll enjoy easy access to local shops, farmers markets, classic car shows, concerts on the Green, and the welcoming sense of community that makes this special corner of Vermont such a wonderful place to call home. Whether casting a line, cooling off in the river, or relaxing on the porch at sunset, every day here feels like a getaway. Schedule your showing today.
