Location, location, location! A classic cape style home, in the very heart of equestrian oriented South Woodstock Village! This carefully crafted cape has many ADA compliant features. A very manageably sized home, privately situated, just a short drive up a quiet dead end town road that even long time local residents may never have traveled on. Single level living is presented to the owners from first entering via the attached garage, to moving throughout the entire 5 room ground floor area of mudroom/laundry, kitchen/dining, living room, bedroom and bath. A bright interior features wide board pine floors, custom made cabinetry, a kitchen dining area with wood burning fireplace, a large mud room with laundry, a ground floor bedroom and two second floor guest bedrooms. Outside, the sunlit lawn areas present the opportunity for views of the Green Mountain Horse Association. Gardeners will appreciate the established perennials and the advantage of natural landscaping features. The property includes both level lawn around the home and sloping fields, for recreation or plantings. Further enhancing the property value is the connection to the village sewer system. The neighboring properties are homes of substantial worth. At the lower edge of the property, a 3000 square foot antique barn is waiting to be repurposed. An appealing cape, with the bonus feature of handicap accessibility, in a truly desirable location!
