Circa 1812, this classic brick and clapboard Gambrel home sits on 1.7 acres just on the edge of the village. Adjacent to the Bruce Edes Forest, the rail trail and a stones throw from the Contoocook River, you can enjoy hiking right outside your door, day and night time skiing on nearby Crotched Mountain and paddling on nearby Powdermill Pond -- or simply enjoy reading a good book on your screen porch. On the main floor, you will find a front to back living room, a spacious dining room and butlers pantry, a kitchen with its own pantry, an inviting screen porch, half bath and a separate laundry room. A beautiful stairway takes you to the the second floor where you will find four bedrooms, two baths -- one with a soaking tub and the other with a claw foot tub -- plus space for a home office or guests. The versatile floor plan offers a separate entrance to bonus rooms -- a space for an office, a getaway, privacy or guest quarters. Attached to the home is a three story barn which has served many uses over the years -- from workshops, to a tack room, storage and a garage. Bennington is nestled in the Monadnock Region which is home to Mount Monadnock, MacDowell Colony, Summer Theater, casual and fine dining, a movie theater, an independent bookstore and many other sources of enjoyment. An easy drive to Manchester Regional Airport and ninety minutes to Boston.
