The picturesque town of Bennington, located in a river valley in southern Vermont, makes for a great year-round destination. In the summer, Bennington is close to popular hiking spots like Bald Mountain and Harmon Hill, the latter of which makes up part of the Appalachian Trail. In the winter, Bennington—which has experienced mild snowfall so far this season, though certainly more is on the way—is an easy drive to great ski destinations like Stratton Mountain Resort and Bromley Mountain.
Seasonal activities aside, the college town is full of other fun highlights, including a farmer's market, a number of good brewpubs and eateries—like the very popular Madison Brewing Co.'s Pub and Restaurant, for instance, and the celebrated Blue Benn Diner—and fun spots like the Bennington Potters shop and the historic Bennington Battle Monument.
If any of that sounds appealing, considering this 2,986-square-foot, three bedroom, three-bath property at 130 Valley View Dr., now on the market for $437,000. The house was custom-built in 1980 and features unique design touches, including a family room with an arched stone hearth and a pellet stove.
