An efficient 2-bedroom chalet located in the foot hills of West Windsor. Over the years the sellers have completed a total gut renovation of the interior and exterior of the house. New windows, doors, hardwood flooring, built-ins, remodeled bathrooms and kitchen are just few upgrades to this charming home. A 2-car garage was added with a large heated bonus room above, which can be used as a game/exercise room, or converted into extra living space. The main level is an open floor plan with living, dining, kitchen, primary bedroom and full bathroom. The lower level is outfitted with a walk-out basement along with the main entrance to the home. The finished basement includes a bedroom, full bathroom, laundry room, along with a family room which is heated by a woodstove. Both floors have mini splits for additional heat and air conditioning. The house comes with a full wrap around deck for access to the pool, front sitting deck, and back yard. The barn was originally used as a cider barn which was in disrepair but shored up, insulated and currently being used as a woodworking shop with a wood burning furnace for heat. The new 3-bedroom mound system was installed this year which allows for future growth. The yard around the house and barn are open although most of the 40 acres are wooded with internal trails. Minutes to Brownsville Butcher and Pantry, Ascutney Windsor Trails, 15 mins to Woodstock and I-91 for easy access to the upper valley.
Room to Live, Room to Dream: 11.4 Acres at the Foot of Mt. Ascutney Welcome to a property with real history and real possibility. Set on 11.4 acres on the east side of Brownsville village, this is a place where you can walk to the village center, the mountain resort, and hiking trails, then come home to open land, mature trees, and views of the valley and Mt. Ascutney. Built in 1965 as the original lodging for the new Ascutney Mountain ski area, the home has welcomed up to 100 guests at a time, and today it lives as a spacious two-unit residence with expansion capability. The land is the heart of it. Five flat areas offer room for gardens, play, gatherings, or new building, with additional acreage left natural for recreation. A brook at the far end of the property adds a layer of privacy, and the setting feels quietly rural even though village life is minutes away. Practical comforts are already in place: a deeded spring water well that has never run out of water, a 25,000-gallon pond with a fire department dry hydrant beside the driveway, a standing seam metal roof installed in 2010, 600-amp electrical service, and three heating options including a TARM wood furnace. Parking is permitted for 50 cars, with a driveway improvement from Route 44 completed in 2019, which makes hosting family, friends, or events easy. For those with a bigger vision, the possibilities extend well beyond the existing home. Whether you renovate the existing structure or start fresh with a design built for today’s codes and lifestyles, the site’s natural slope allows larger buildings to sit gracefully in the landscape. Live here, build here, or hold this rare piece of Vermont for what comes next. Offered as-is. Call today to schedule a private showing.
