30 S Main ST Danby, VT 05739

Fully updated eclectic & historic home in the village. From the paved driveway, there is a side entry that takes you to the spacious mudroom/ laundry room. From there, head into the open kitchen with custom tile backsplash from Italy. All new stainless-steel appliances and granite countertops make cooking in this kitchen a real joy and great for entertaining. Upstairs, there are four bedrooms and one bathroom. The downstairs has three bonus rooms: an office, a piano/sitting room and a dining room. The spacious living room is a magical living space with a fireplace and cathedral ceilings. The living rooms sliding doors open to the beautiful patio and spacious flat back yard. Enjoy the private courtyard area, which is separated by beautiful custom stone walls and a fence. This house, owned by Obediah Hadwen (1824-1907) and Pearl S. Buck (1892-1973), feels like a museum and has the history to match. Obediah Hadwen was a local tannery businessman. Pearl S. Buck was a novelist and won the Pulitzer Prize in 1932; five years later, she became the first American woman to receive the Nobel Prize in literature. The front porch overlooks Mount Tabor and the Veterans Memorial Park across the street. Marble steps, a small front yard and some coffee in the morning make this home a perfect retreat!
