66 Church St, Norwich, VT 05055

Rare offering. This spacious and updated, 6000 sq ft (5,270 finished above grade) 5 bedroom, 6 bathroom in town home offers a setting that can't be beat. Despite its convenience to everything, and just a stone's throw to the elementary school, the siting of the house and the large yard creates privacy rarely available in town. The house has it all, lots of sun filled spaces, and a gorgeous and warm walnut top-of-the-line chef's kitchen with more than the usual. Built by superb craftsman Jeff Winagle, it boasts Italian granite, a large island, Sub Zero, Wolf 8 burner gas range, with a stylish vent hood above that is sufficient for the most demanding chefs, two dishwashers, two sinks with disposals, one with pot-filler, under counter icemaker, trash compactor, undercounter refrigerator drawers, filtered hot and cold water dispenser, Ipe wood flooring, and ample cabinet space, including loads of often-rare upper cabinet space. There is a small deck for grilling year-round out a kitchen door. The home has both details of classic Vermont charm of yesteryear and modern updates. Three fireplaces, one of them a Rumford design, with firewood box built ins. The all-important large tiled mudroom is designed for functionality for a family in Vermont, with ample space to store all the outerwear that a VT family needs. The radiant floor heating is a luxury on your feet in the winter. The laundry room is conveniently on the main floor, with dumb waiter to the second floor. For the sun lovers, the living room with a solarium roof allows one to soak up the sunshine year-round while enjoying views of the lawn and woods behind. A second wet-bar in the living room allows for easy access from the terrace. The back of the house opens to the entertaining-size bluestone terrace and large yard of mature flowering trees, shrubs, and perennial gardens, laid out by award winning local landscape architect, Shep Butler. Spring flowering bulbs abound and were planned for cutting all season long. Sending family out to cut the oodles of daffodils will delight them. The main floor has an en-suite bedroom, the 2nd floor has four more bedrooms, including the sunny Master wing, entered through a library or nursery, with an en-suite bath and walk-in closet. An exercise or crafting room and a shared bath round out the 2nd floor. The lower level recreation/media room has a full wet bar with fridge, separate icemaker and dishwasher, plus built-in surround sound speakers, and a fireplace, and a 3/4 bath that would make it an alternate space for an exercise room. There is an attached garage, plus a detached oversized 30' x 35' two car garage with space for a project work bench, plus all your bicycles and kayaks, and attic storage above. This home hasn't been on the market for 26 years, which is typical for this neighborhood. This property is a keeper! Seller will pay usual Buyer's broker's commission.
