A circa 1734 Cape, displaying museum quality authentic detailing, in a setting worthy of a Vermont Life Magazine cover! Originally sited in New Hampshire, the Cape was patiently dismantled, with components meticulously cataloged, and then relocated to an idyllic Vermont hilltop setting! The post and beam construction, gunstock corner posts, exposed beams, extraordinarily wide floor boards, 4 beautiful brick fireplaces, wide board sheathing and hand planed surfaces are desirable components of the original Cape! Now, moving forward to the present day, an experienced designer has recently completely renovated the interior! She has seamlessly blended the early New England architectural features with the benefits of contemporary design amenities! The transformation is truly mesmerizing! Notable major upgrades are all new bathrooms, new bedrooms and a fabulous kitchen that was relocated within the home to benefit from the truly spectacular views. Easily this kitchen is the heart of the home, with an oversized fireplace on one side and long dramatic views on the other side. The additional advantages of contemporary mechanical systems, a full size cement basement and whole house back up generator are unobtrusive nods to present day conveniences! This classic Cape features the traditional Cape floor plan of family oriented rooms and kitchen on the main floor, with luxury bedroom suites above. A 30'x20' wing off the Cape presents the desirable practicality of a privately separated ground level primary bedroom suite. With vaulted ceiling and dramatic windows framing views of the pond and distant hills, this bedroom suite easily becomes a favorite room! Completing this expansive 157 acre estate is a detached private guest cottage with a 4 bay garage below, a large swimming pond, an equipment storage barn and walking trails! Within the extensive 157 acres there is a 24 acre field with agricultural potential! An authentic Cape, in an idyllic setting, without antique home worries!
