261 Main ST Norwich, VT 05055

An opportunity to own a beautiful historic brick Federal affectionately referred to as the “middle brick” on Main Street! The original kitchen area of the Williston-Frey House was constructed in 1780 as a single story farmhouse and in 1820 a two-story addition was completed on the front side facing the street. The current owners have carefully redone the house to blend historic integrity with 21st century efficiency and style. Renovations include a kitchen designed for a cook, with cherry cabinets, granite counters, two ovens, and an ample pantry. The new side entry mudroom features drawers, cubbies, a closet, and a wood box. Upstairs there is a newly designed master suite featuring a custom-created walk-in closet, laundry room with maple storage cabinets, a large maple wardrobe for added storage, and a spa-like master bath with translucent glass to the hallway. In addition, there are new windows throughout, a large dining room with a wood-burning stove, a gas fireplace in the living room, and a wing on the first floor currently used as an in-home office. A rental apartment over the garage could also serve as living quarters for an au pair. In the midst of the village, this home offers the privacy of an artistic garden and patio at the side door with added garden or recreation space toward the back of the property. Dan and Whit’s is an easy walk and Dartmouth and a world-class hospital are accessible by car or public bus.
