Nestled in one of Dorset's most desirable private settings, this enchanting storybook Cape is a rare offering that blends timeless New England charm with exceptional beauty. Surrounded by lush perennial gardens and magnificent specimen maple trees and an extraordinary acre of mature pachysandra, the property offers a sense of peace and privacy that is increasingly hard to find. The welcoming living room is centered around a classic colonial fireplace and opens to a slate terrace overlooking established perennial gardens - an ideal place for relaxing or entertaining. Filled with natural light, the dining room features elegant built in cabinetry and flows seamlessly into a custom-designed kitchen with a Dutch door to a covered porch for morning coffee. The tranquil sunroom and charming powder room complete the first floor. Upstairs, you'll find a primary bedroom with fireplace and attached bath and a guestroom with bath and a generous storage attic. The exceptional grounds offer endless possibilities, including a detached barn with exciting guest cottage, studio, or workshop (subject to permits) potential, a colonial style potting shed and seven acres of picturesque land that provides privacy, beauty and room to explore. A home of exceptional warmth, character and timeless appeal in one of Southern Vermont's most coveted communities. Owner is a Vermont licensed Real Estate Agent.
