Listing broker remarks

Set on 2 acres in the heart of Bernardston village, this 1790 Colonial is filled with the kind of character you just don’t find in newer homes. The main living space offers 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, including a first-floor bedroom, with wood floors, multiple fireplaces, period details and generously sized rooms throughout. An additional 3-room accessory apartment includes 1 bedroom and 1 full bath, adding flexibility for extended family, guests or other uses. Outside, the setting is equally appealing with a covered front porch, stone patio, expansive lawn, mature trees, wooded areas and a pond, plus a large 2-story, 2-bay barn/garage offering plenty of room for storage, workshop space or hobbies. Enjoy the feel of a spacious country property while being right in the village, close to Cushman Park, the library and local shops, with convenient access to major routes.— Coldwell Banker Community REALTORS®
