New Rules For Homebuyers Start Soon

Changes are coming, on Aug. 17, in how real estate agents are paid, especially buyer agents. Here’s what potential buyers and sellers need to know:

Would you want to own a beautiful four-bedroom house that’s nearly 100 years old?

Well, there’s one on the market in Brattleboro.

The “Cheap Old Houses” Instagram page, which led to the HGTV show “Who’s Afraid of a Cheap Old House,” recently showcased a gorgeous early-to-mid-century house with the caption, “Save this house!”

“Just sharing because it’s so fun!!!” the post said. “By “Save This House” I just mean: DON’T TOUCH IT”

No matter how much the poster wants it, this house could be yours as it is still on the market and available to look at on Zillow.

The property’s listing says that the house is located on a private side street near downtown Brattleboro. Its address is 10 Strawberry Hill, Brattleboro, VT 05301.

Built in 1940, this property was listed on Zillow by Erica Reynolds of Southern Vermont Realty Group. According to the listing, the house has four bedrooms, five bathrooms and measures 4,019 square foot. It is priced at $579,000.

“This extraordinary home was built in 1940 by a couple who sailed to England on the Queen Mary for their honeymoon,” the listing said. “Inspired by the elegance and modernity of the ship, they sought to infuse their home with the same glamour, resulting in a striking blend of nautical design and Modernist architecture.”

The listing said that the property comes with a dishwasher, a dryer, a washer as well as a garage space for parking the car.

“The expansive kitchen includes a breakfast bar, cozy dining nook, and both a butler’s pantry and cook’s pantry leading to the formal dining room with outdoor views,” the listing said.

The listing also touted it’s proximity to cities, just in case someone was thinking about using it as a part-time residence.

“Just a short drive from top ski resorts and outdoor recreation, it’s also conveniently located within hours of both New York City and Boston, making it perfect for a weekend escape or full-time residence,” the listing said.

A four-time and three-time champion at Vermont girls golf state championships

For the fourth consecutive year, Mount Mansfield senior Namo Seibert won the Vermont high school girls golf championship, completing a historic feat on Tuesday.

Seibert carded a 14-over 86 on the 18-hole course at Burlington Country Club. The senior recorded pars on nine different holes and earned a two-stroke victory over runner-up Ryan Sleeper from Champlain Valley.

“I feel like there’s so many other better players than me, honestly it feels pretty great,” Seibert said.

“I can’t still comprehend that I just did that.”

Seibert was part of the first group to tee off at 9:30 a.m. She didn’t realize that her performance was strong enough to clinch first place as none of the other 27 golfers could catch her.

“Right after I was finishing the round people were saying, ‘Congratulations,’ and I’m like saying, ‘Are you sure?’” Seibert said.

Seibert was not the only golfer to defend her title. Champlain Valley earned its second consecutive team championship with the Redhawks duo of Sleeper (88) and Stella Rakochy (93) tallying a 181.

Burr and Burton once again finished as the runner-up, seven strokes behind the Redhawks.

In D-II, Rice swept both the individual and team honors. Taylor Moulton won her third consecutive D-II title, recording an 87.

Moulton helped propel Rice to the Green Knights third consecutive team crown, combining with Lily Collins (93) for a team score of 180. Stowe finished 38 strokes behind Rice to earn second place.

“The fact that we had won and me individually for the past two years I kind of had to do it again,” Moulton said. “I wanted it for myself.”

Colley’s Method was created by Wes Colley, Ph.D., an astrophysicist at the University of Alabama at Huntsville.
