Nestled among the picturesque vistas of the SW corner of Vermont is the Defoe Mooar Wright house. A congressional record, signed by Barak and Bernie, on wall flanking fireplace in dining room and recognizes this home as the oldest home in the VT! This 1742 Salt Box, built by Dutch craftsmen in English style with fireplaces surrounding the central chimney. Historically relevant with original structure and layout, yet beautifully maintained. The cozy kitchen has king’s board wide plank floor, a large open hearth with new, efficient Hearthstone wood stove, soapstone countertops with custom farm sink, pantry and views to the patio and perennial gardens. A third entrance off the rear garden allows for the potential separate guest or in-law suite or space for rental income. Upstairs, views to the nearby Taconic Mountains can be seen from bed. New exterior and interior paint and reworked perennial gardens with stacked stone borders. Relax around the fire pit or in the gazebo with friends. The freshly painted garage barn offers workspace, wide space parking and a large bonus area above that seems perfect for a maker’s studio, man cave, play space, added storage or perhaps new living quarters. Some say the soil in this region is ideal for gardening and the abundant raised vegetable beds by the garden shed are proof. A large wood shed and garden shed as well. A piece of history, with quick access to Williamstown, Bennington and New York awaits. **Delayed showings to open house on 10/3.
