47 Elm StreetNorwich, VT 05055Sale Price: $1,100,000

With one of the best locations on perhaps the finest street in town, 47 Elm Street is an incredible example of the best of Norwich. Known for much of its history as the “Elm Street Parsonage”, this property was home to the Congregational Parsonage, and may have been a stop on the underground railroad. The home itself has been wonderfully restored and updated by the current ownership, most recently including extensive repair and repointing to the brickwork and stone foundations. Pine floors, plaster walls, and intimate and inviting spaces filled with natural light bring a sense of warmth and tranquility. The front porch is a wonderful place to sit in a rocking chair and read a book, enjoy a cup of coffee, or just watch the world go by. Out back, the private patio overlooks the meadow down to the brook that bisects Elm Street. The wood fired pizza oven provides a wonderful warmth and a place to make bread and pizza, just incredible for entertaining. The home office is full of beautiful vistas and breezes. The library has amazing light with corner windows overlooking Elm Street. Walk to town and visit Dan and Whits, the Norwich Bookstore, Blue Sparrow Cafe, or the Norwich green. With a trail community that is second to none, there is always something to do and someplace new to explore, right outside your door. Historically significant, nicely updated, private and yet close to town, this home represents the very best of in-town living.
