Welcome to 50 Bates Rd, a charming 1920s Vermont farmhouse perched above the village of Cavendish, offering a country setting with the convenience of being in town. The standout feature is the large covered porch - the kind of welcoming outdoor space that feels from another era and invites you to slow down and take in the setting. This home is ready for updating, but the character is already here: original hardwood floors, a country kitchen, beautiful doors, classic woodwork, period lighting, and built-ins that add both charm and practical storage. Some of the less glamorous but important improvements are already underway, including a new furnace and water heater, allowing the next owner to focus on the more enjoyable parts of renovation and design. The property also offers space for future perennial gardens and a setting with a sense of local history. Just a short drive to Okemo Mountain Resort, area restaurants, shops, and recreation, this is a wonderful opportunity to restore a home with soul in a great village location.
