Set on 53.65 acres in a beautiful rural setting, this New England-inspired home was thoughtfully designed and built in 2006 with an emphasis on quality materials and craftsmanship. Just 5 miles from Brandon and 13 miles from Middlebury, the setting feels decidedly rural while remaining convenient to both communities. The 2,530-square-foot home features four bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths, including a first-floor primary suite. The living room rises to a dramatic 17-foot cathedral ceiling and features a fireplace, cherry hardwood floors, and an open balcony overlook. A formal dining room adjoins the kitchen, which offers ceramic tile flooring, extensive cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, and distinctive Italian porcelain wall tile. A laundry room is conveniently located off the kitchen on the way to the attached two-car garage. The spacious primary suite includes two 5' x 7' walk-in closets and a bath with a 12-foot cathedral ceiling, jetted soaking tub, separate shower, double vanity, and private water closet. Radiant floor heat extends throughout the home, unfinished basement, and garage. The dry 1,548-square-foot basement provides abundant storage and workspace. Fiber-optic internet, Low-E windows, generator wiring, a 2022 roof, and AZEK decking add comfort and practicality. An impressive three-bay monitor barn offers an oversized center bay suitable for an RV, two additional bays, workshop space, and an unfinished second story for storage. The grounds include established landscaping, apple and peach trees, grapevines, a stream, and seasonal mountain views. Approximately 51 acres are enrolled in Vermont's Current Use program as managed forestland. Nearby Fern Lake and Lake Dunmore, golf, hiking, and skiing provide abundant recreational opportunities.
