Great in-town location. Home needs some minor rehab and cleaning. Close to Lake Champlain and Lake Bomoseen. Middlebury is a short drive away. Killington is a half hour drive. Benson is a quaint old town and is far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the big towns, but close enough to all that the Rutland region has to offer.
