Behind the cheerful yellow double doors, there's more to discover than meets the eye! This spacious historic Northfield Cape is full of New England character, unexpected spaces, and personality you just can't replicate. Set on a landscaped corner lot with mature plantings, stone walls, and a generous fenced backyard, this home has a story to tell. Inside, warm wood floors, a propane fireplace with brick hearth, built-in shelving, and architectural details create inviting spaces with a sense of history. The formal dining room is ready for memorable gatherings, while the spacious kitchen offers room to cook, connect, and enjoy views of the backyard. A thoughtfully designed family room addition with its own heating zone provides room to spread out, and the sunroom off the kitchen opens directly to the yard. Flexibility is a recurring theme here. An attached studio, currently used as an office, offers space for work or creative pursuits. Three bedrooms upstairs include an oversized room with potential to be divided into two, while a spacious first-floor sitting room has previously served as a primary bedroom. Main-level laundry, a step-in shower, and ramp access from the garage add convenience and single-level living potential. Practical updates include replacement windows on the main and upper levels, a centrally located pellet stove, an oversized garage, and generous storage. Outside, there's room to garden, play, or simply enjoy the Vermont seasons. Downtown Northfield, the library, and Norwich University are just moments away, with easy access to I-89 and Montpelier. A home with history, heart, and plenty of room for your next chapter!
