Historic Charm Meets Modern Vermont Living! This beautifully refreshed home offers the perfect blend of historic character, modern updates, and country charm. Originally dating to the 1880s, the home is believed to have been part of a historic train station in Sheldon before being moved to Berkshire more than 100 years ago. The home's exceptional original construction includes remarkably thick wood floors and a solid wood structure that has stood the test of time. Inside, you'll find new wood flooring throughout, freshly painted walls, and cozy bedrooms featuring warm walnut/light-wood accents. The updated kitchen and bathroom offer modern convenience while retaining the home's rustic personality, including original wood slabs in the kitchen that have been preserved and painted for a charming country feel. The property also offers excellent potential for additional space. The substantial concrete cellar could possibly be finished, while the enclosed front and rear porches provide opportunities for mudrooms, entry spaces, or additional seasonal living areas. A drilled well provides a reliable water supply, and the expanded driveway offers ample front and side parking. Outside, enjoy beautifully maintained perennial gardens, shrubs, and lawn, along with peaceful mountain views from the rear of the home. The property is bordered by farmland protected by the Vermont Land Trust, offering a beautiful rural backdrop and added privacy. Wildlife including deer, moose, bear, and other native species can often be seen in the area. Located just 15 minutes from Jay Peak Resort, this is an ideal four-season property for skiing, hiking, golfing, and year-round recreation. Conveniently situated along the route from Burlington and Montreal, this home is an excellent opportunity for a first-time buyer, those seeking a Vermont getaway, or an investor interested in a potential short-term rental.
