This is a rare opportunity to own a home on Sunset Street, arguably the best location in the village of Stowe. Only a few minutes stroll from the center of town, this location offers village living at its finest with easy access to shops, restaurants, the library, elementary school, post office and ice skating rink, while also offering the calm of a quiet neighborhood surrounded by forest. A walkway of beautiful blue stone quarried on Sunset Hill graces the formal entrance to this stately home. With six bedrooms, elegant dining room and a living room featuring the original fireplace, a sun-filled family room overlooking private backyard gardens, a spacious kitchen with wood floors and custom cabinetry, as well as a large finished basement, this home is perfect for those wishing both the convenience of a village home and room for entertaining. With a large level yard and lush perennial gardens, the house is afforded privacy by mature trees and a fern-covered hillside at the back of the lot, as well as the adjacent protected lands of Pleasant Woods. With almost an acre of land, this well-maintained historic home, owned by the Stafford family since 1867, has wonderful curb appeal - a jewel in the heart of Stowe Village.
