Property Description

Nearly Lakefront Living in the Heart of North Bennington! Come for the space—stay for the location! This spacious home offers over 2,500 sq. ft. of living space, including 5 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, a large home office in the finished basement, and a versatile 250 sq. ft. bonus room attached to one of the upstairs bedrooms. The original garage has been thoughtfully transformed into a 600 sq. ft. primary suite, featuring energy-efficient mini-split heating and cooling, with a large main bedroom and an adjoining space ideal for a walk-in closet or private retreat. A new steel two-car garage was added, ensuring your vehicles stay protected year-round. The property’s outdoor space is just as impressive—with beautifully maintained perennial gardens (featuring lilacs, peonies, lilies, and phlox), fruit trees (peach and plum), and graceful white birches. A small backyard storage shed with electricity adds extra convenience. Located just steps from picturesque Lake Paran and nestled in the charming Village of North Bennington, this home offers the perfect balance of peaceful village life and easy access to nearby commercial areas. Plus, inclusion in the North Bennington Graded School District allows PreK–6th grade students to attend an approved independent or private school tuition-free. Don’t miss the opportunity to enjoy this rare combination of space, location, and community!
