New England Village Home Built in 1830 with Younger Addition & Barn/Garage. This home exudes that old-time character found in small New England towns from the rockers on the front porch to the parlor with built-ins and antique wavy glass windows to the large dining room for hosting Sunday dinners. Pumpkin pine floors flow through most original rooms and out to the newer addition, highlighted by its cathedral ceiling, soaring wood stove brick surround, and palladian-capped windows. This classic home will shine with a good polishing. Step out to the flat and spacious side yard with large shade trees and sunny spots for gardens, leading to wooded nature at the back of the property. The barn/garage houses two vehicles and work space on the first level while the second level is perfect for studio or storage. The village of Ripton boasts its own country store, iconic church & community house plus a stately inn. This is Robert Frost country close to the Middlebury College Breadloaf Mountain Campus, Green Mountain National Forest, and skiing at the Snow Bowl & Rickert Nordic Center. The eclectic small college town of Middlebury is a 15 minute drive away.
