Welcome to this charming 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom house located in the desirable area of Colchester, VT. This lovely home offers a comfortable and inviting living space for anyone seeking a peaceful yet convenient lifestyle.... Nestled at 100 Butternut Lane, formerly known as 1269 Blakely Road, this historic farmhouse has been cherished by seven generations, and is now available for rent. Brimming with old-world charm, from its iconic purple lightning rods to meticulously maintained gardens and classic barn (occupied not for tenant use), this residence invites you to be a part of Vermont's rich history. This home's original owner owned all of the surrounding land on this property. Over time, these sections of land have been sold to developers so a veritable neighborhood is growing up around the home. Nods to the home's history can be found all over the property. Check out the rare stump fence that farmers used to use as fencing for their cattle. The owner had it loving recreated near the home.

With four bedrooms – two upstairs, two downstairs – and a craftsman-style feel throughout, the home seamlessly blends tradition with modernity. The spacious, updated kitchen and laundry area add contemporary comfort.

* Please note a really good wood stove is non-functional but still exudes a cozy ambiance. Stay warm with the efficient forced air furnace during Vermont winters.

Multiple entrances, including one through a mudroom, enhance convenience and provide nice areas to experience the gorgeous outdoors. There is a large private garden for tenants to use as well.

The basement offers a tremendous amount of storage with part of it being semi-finished.

There is a total of 4 off-street parking spots for this unit.

Tenants are responsible for heat, electricity, cable/internet, trash/recycling, & composting as well as the initial credit/criminal background report.

The owner is responsible for plowing, lawn care, water/sewer, and taxes. There is also a composting bin provided onsite as well.
