Welcome to the Snowmobile Capital of Vermont! The season isn’t far away, so come see this New Englander set on a .45-acre village lot in Island Pond. Built in 1920, the home retains some original features, including wood flooring, solid wood doors, and a built-in cabinet in the dining room. The current owners have installed a new furnace and hot water heater, and many windows have been upgraded to vinyl replacement windows.

In addition, this community hosts many events throughout the year, including the Pond-A-Thon, fitness classes, and outdoor concerts. For classic Vermont skiing and world-class mountain biking, Burke Mountain and Kingdom Trails are just 20 miles away.
