For the love of history! This 1850 charming colonial style home possesses warmth and features we have continued to desire. The comforts of today's world and a blend of yesteryears craftsmanship, this home has it all and still has the original slate roof!  Of course, the kitchen was, and is still today, the hub of the house; the updates include painted white-wood cabinets, stainless steel appliances, granite counters, and yes, a huge center island that is a great gathering spot. Pantries are still a must, and this one incorporated a first-floor washer and dryer room, one of today's luxuries for sure! Off the kitchen is a beautiful sunroom or use as a first-floor bedroom if needed. Enjoy the dining and living room for entertaining, and a very comfortable den/TV room enhanced by a bookshelf of books, turn off your technology, and snuggle up with a good read! Four-second floor bedrooms and a considerably large family bath. The master bedroom addition features a vaulted ceiling, wooden beams, double closets, and handsome wood flooring. An attached huge woodshed could be for many hobbies; back in the day, this probably stored wood to heat the house. Also, there is a detached garage workshop, and today we call it a "man cave." This desirable Mendon, VT location is minutes to Barstow Elementary school and Chittenden dam, a popular locale fishing, hiking, kayaking reservoir. All this, and 11.5 miles from the largest ski area in the Northeast! LIVE VERMONT!
