11 Strawberry Hill, Brattleboro, VT, 05301 | $639,000

Beautifully sited on 1. 9 acres just off Greenhill Parkway, this tastefully modernized 1940s cape blends architectural pedigree with thoughtful, high end updates. Designed by noted architect James Britton of Greenfield, MA - a contemporary of Royal Barry Wills and long admired for his classic New England forms - the home retains its classic original character, while offering a fully refreshed interior. The 4 BR, 3 BA layout includes a full width living room with wood burning fireplace, a handsome dining room with built-in corner cabinets and a massive, x-pane window overlooking the backyard. The kitchen is a standout, featuring Crown Point beaded frame cabinetry, heated encaustic tile floors, Zellige tile walls, a Liebherr refrigerator, Miele propane cooktop, KitchenAid double ovens, and a custom Pella hydraulic lift awning window - ideal for outdoor entertaining. Rounding out the first floor is a beautifully executed mudroom/laundry created between the kitchen and attached 2 car garage, a private and comfortable den, a spacious formal entry hall, and updated powder room. All bathrooms have been fully renovated with Waterworks fixtures and Toto washlet toilets; two with custom tile showers, heated tile floors, and Visual Comfort lighting. A spacious suite above the garage offers flexibility for a primary bedroom or in law arrangement, offering new solid oak flooring, a walk-in closet, and a decadent bathroom with soaking tub and separate shower. The location is exceptional, being an easy walk to downtown and the park, and privately tucked into an unusually large lot; and with unique, direct access to over 9 miles of trails via a path along the lower edge of the property. A rare combination of history, craftsmanship, and modern comfort in one of Brattleboro’s most desirable neighborhoods. The home also comes with original 1944 blueprints and historical materials from the Norton family; the property’s first owners.
