WRIGHT-FOSTER HOUSE- Nestled in the heart of Norwich Village on a generous 2.7-acre lot, the Wright-Foster House effortlessly blends original historic craftsmanship with modern efficiencies to create a home that is rich with both elegance and functionality. It has elements of Federal and Greek Revival architecture with an iconic two-story porch along the front side to take in the grounds. A sizable, well-appointed kitchen/dining area flows comfortably into a formal dining room on one side and a spacious family room with adjacent screened porch on the other, making it an ideal space to entertain family and friends. Through the foyer is a cozy, more sophisticated living room for quieter pursuits, while a bedroom/office with attached bathroom rounds out the first floor living space. The second floor features a primary bedroom suite, three additional bedroom/office spaces, two baths, and laundry room. Beautiful wide-pine flooring and natural light throughout. Outside is a considerable barn, tennis court, manicured gardens and fruit trees, beautifully landscaped lawn, and a small pond. The pond is perfect for ice skating in the winter months, and there is cross-country skiing trail access on the west side of the lot. Sited in Norwich and minutes to Hanover & Dartmouth College, this property offers the benefit of proximity and convenience without sacrificing privacy or space.

Norwich
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.”

Hanover is home to Dartmouth Health, 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.

Woodstock, Vermont is the quintessential New England historic town. It sits in a valley surrounded by low-lying hills that nestle rather than overwhelm, and is a community snuggled around the Ottauquechee River. Woodstock is home to many excellent shops and restaurants, the Woodstock Inn & Resort, a great middle and high school, and it never fails to serve as an incredible place to go for a walk or meet someone for coffee.
Those who choose to reside near Woodstock continue to be some of the most educated in the world, some of the most accomplished “captains of industry” in the country. You’ll find filmmakers, war correspondents, writers, artists, military experts, doctors, high-tech entrepreneurs, rock stars, equestrians and happy soccer moms and dads all grabbing a coffee in town. Woodstock also attracts its fair share of Dutch, English and French, many of whom are reminded of home by the gentle hills, winding dirt roads, cows, sheep and horses in pastures next to beautiful weathered barns. Even if it’s not the old country, it has the feel of a place with deep roots.

Quechee is the site of Quechee Gorge on the Ottauquechee River and is also the home to the Quechee Lakes planned community initiated in the late 1960s, which brought to the community the small Quechee Lakes Ski Area in the 1970s. The ski area has 13 trails and 3 lifts. Perched atop the falls of the Ottauquechee River, overlooking a covered bridge, Simon Pearce offers glassblowing demonstrations, a renowned restaurant, and new bar. In addition to the restaurant at Simon Pearce, The Parker House is another great option for dining.
