260 Main Street, Cavendish, VT 05153

This jewel of a house embodies practical magic, allowing residents to move through their days swiftly and efficiently, with a touch of whimsy around every corner. Much of the decorating was done by Joanne Palmisano and is move-in/rental-ready. The main house has been approved by the state for up to 12 residents as there is a sprinkler system and escape ladders in every bedroom. A Victorian-style foyer and central staircase divide a soft-toned living room from a bright and contemporary-styled family room, which is followed by a renovated kitchen and dining room/bar with seating for 12, along with a three-quarter bathroom and light-filled mudroom to a second entrance. Five Smart TVs have been strategically placed throughout the house. Two stairways take you to four distinctive bedrooms equipped with key-specific deadbolt locks, two bathrooms (one en suite), and a game room. The third floor comprises two more charming bedrooms. An attached, open-concept three-bedroom apartment with private entry lends a contemporary feel to the property and has been recently re-roofed. The back deck landscaping provides privacy, while the covered front porch, which suffered ice damage this winter and needs rehab (a quote is available; repairs could be completed this summer), is certain to welcome guests with dignity. Walk to stellar eateries like Singleton’s and Outer Limits Brewery. Just a quick bike ride or drive to Ludlow. Essential services are nearby. There's plenty of parking for guests.
