129 E Putney Brook Rd, Putney, VT 05346

The year was 1790. George Washington was president, Vermont was soon to become the 14th state, and this Antique Cape home was built just outside the small village of Putney. While there have been many updates and changes to the original, the center beehive Dutch oven, complete with crane, remains the focal point. There's an openness to this home, as the galley style kitchen flows to the dining room, which opens to the substantial living room. There are two other rooms on the first level, each with a fireplace (currently not operable), and they both enjoy access to a wonderful south-facing screened porch. Go upstairs and follow a delightful curved hallway to the bedrooms. The beautifully landscaped grounds are highlighted by fruit trees, perennials, and flowering plants and framed by large stone walls. There is also a two-level guest cottage, barn, and shop. All situated on over 50 acres of mixed hard and softwood. A piece of Americana waiting for someone to continue the history.
