181 Westminster RD Putney, VT 05346

This stately, comfortable 3 bedroom, 3 bath home – with unique ornamental pilasters and brick ends – was built in 1805 and is described in the National Historic Register as “one of the two finest examples of the Federal style in the Putney Village Historic District.” It is set back and up from the road behind mature lilacs on a flat 1.2 acre lot. Original wide-plank wood floors throughout, as well as plaster walls and chair rails. Slate floor in the kitchen. A large (7×28) screened-in porch overlooks an enclosed garden rich with perennials. Part of the original 1795 cape has been converted to a self-contained apartment. The large barn with loft was built in 1870. The grounds include vegetable gardens (including asparagus bed), a 14×21 hoop house, and orchard with pears, peaches, heirloom apples, cherries, paw-paw, and raspberry, blueberry, currant, and kiwi bushes. Natural hedges on all sides of the lot enhance the sense of privacy. Behind the property are open fields and woods with trails. The village center is less than a mile away – easily reached by foot or bicycle. Showings to begin on 11/30. Potential first floor bedroom currently being used as a music room and office. SHOWINGS END THURSDAY 12/2. OFFERS TO BE SUBMITTED NO LATER THAN 5PM FRIDAY 12/3 WITH CONTRACT DATE NOT BEFORE SUNDAY 12/5 AT 6PM.
