72 FRENCHS ROAD – Amazing opportunity to own a very special property on the market for the first time in over 50 years. Built in 1880, "Rose Hill" was one of the premier homes in the Woodstock Village area. The 6 bedroom 4 bath house sits on just under 4 private acres and is conveniently located less than a mile from the Village Green and the Woodstock Inn and only 1/4 of a mile from the Rec Center. Stone walkways, mature trees and old gardens dot the landscape. The over sized covered brick porch is waiting to reclaim the lovely views to the South. Inside, you are greeted by a large foyer that leads to the stately living room with a magnificent fireplace centering the room. To the left is the dining room which leads to the kitchen, and a window filled den is off to the right. There is a dutch door out to the porch and an eye catching staircase with a wood banister and ornate spindles that takes you upstairs. The 2nd floor is home to 6 bedrooms including a large center room with an elegant fireplace. In addition to the main house, there is a detached garage with a 2 bedroom apartment and a 2 bedroom cottage which includes a living room with fireplace, dining room, kitchen and bath. In need of updates and some renovations, this property is looking for the next steward to return the house to its former glory. Ideal as a primary residence, 2nd home getaway, or redevelopment investment. Short drive to the Woodstock CC and Saskadena 6, while Killington and Dartmouth are less than 30 minutes away.

Hanover is home to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, boutique shopping outlets, fabulous food, and more. One of its main attractions is Dartmouth College (one of the Ivy Leagues and the ninth oldest college in the nation), and in part due to its youthful atmosphere, the town enjoys a lively, 'New England cosmopolitan' business district. Hanover offers an incredible mix of activities from access to the White and Green Mountains to its arts and culture community not to mention the obvious intellectual benefits found in a college town.

Norwich was recently voted as the #1 Best Place to Live in Vermont by Niche.com. The quaint and picturesque town has a population of approximately 3,400 people. Its close proximity to Hanover, and its many historic buildings and attractions such as The Norwich Inn, Blue Sparrow Kitchen, and King Arthur Flour, make it a very desirable place to live. As one New York Times article described, “With a main street lined with white clapboard colonial buildings and a landmark steepled church, Norwich could be a set designer’s renderings of a tiny New England village.”
