Description

Quintessential New England farmhouse. Dreaming of evenings beneath a big Vermont sky? Imagine fishing in your spring fed pond beside your wood fired sauna, with the Worcester Range rising beyond every apple tree. This exceptional property blends historic character, thoughtful craftsmanship, and modern comfort. Exposed wood beams, abundant built-ins, period details, and beautifully maintained finishes celebrate its farmhouse roots, while a brand new heating system, and standing seam roof offer contemporary ease. A sustainably built, fully permitted Accessory Dwelling features state of the art insulation and triple pane tilt and turn designer windows, with excellent potential for rental income. The ceilings soar high above the open concept living space with a private bedroom and bathroom. Two driveway access points add flexibility. Abundant paths meander through the meadow, around blueberry bushes, and up to a charming two story playhouse. A nearby trail network offers year round skiing, biking, and walking. Fieldstone patios create multiple places to take in the many vistas, while Curtis Pond and Maple Corner add to the quintessential Vermont setting. Inside, maple floors flow through the high traffic areas. The kitchen is positioned in the heart of the home, perfectly positioned between two staircases. This creates a thoughtful separation of the living, dining, and entry spaces from the private wing. Step onto the traditional farm porch and take in the view through a classic New England bay window, with a distinctive witch’s window above. The home offers two full baths plus an additional office. Upstairs, a flexible floor plan places two bedrooms at each gable end, with connecting rooms ideal for an office, library, guest bedroom, or studio. Exposed beams, built-ins, and beautiful period details continue throughout. Lovingly maintained by its stewards, this is a rare blend of history, beauty, flexibility, and Vermont landscape.
