2 PLEASANT STREET- This stately brick Federal is a historic landmark property in the heart of Woodstock Village, home to many storied families in the town and state’s history, notably Julius Converse, Governor of Vermont in 1872, and Laurance Rockefeller. Though it has been well-renovated and maintained over the years, it retains many of its historic features to beautifully blend modern convenience with original charm. The first floor features oversized, recently updated windows and several spacious high ceiling gathering rooms including a formal living room, dining room, library, and central family room. A cozy eat-in kitchen with fireplace on the north side of the house opens to a lovely landscaped yard shaded by mature maple trees. The second floor, also punctuated by high ceilings and windows to give it a bright and spacious feel, features a primary bedroom on the front side of the house with an adjoining dressing area, walk in closets, and full bath. Adjacent the primary is another sizable bedroom with its own bath, while two additional bedrooms with shared bath round out the level. The detached barn garage has space for one car and plenty of additional storage. Idyllically sited and within walking distance of local shopping, dining, schools, hiking trails, and Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historic Park, this iconic Woodstock home is a rare gem.

Woodstock
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.
