Description
Exceptionally maintained and tastefully updated, this charming home is tucked away in the highly desirable Forest Ridge neighborhood of East Middlebury, where properties rarely come to market. Set on a private, beautifully landscaped lot with nearby access to the Green Mountain National Forest, Lake Dunmore, and Middlebury Snowbowl, this location offers endless opportunities for hiking, recreation, and outdoor adventure while remaining less than 10 minutes from downtown Middlebury's restaurants, shops, and amenities. The shaded lot is thoughtfully landscaped with raised beds, perennial gardens, and a convenient storage shed for tools and equipment. A welcoming covered front porch with a built-in swing leads into a functional mudroom featuring vaulted ceilings. Inside, the spacious living room is filled with natural light from abundant windows and offers a cozy wood stove for chilly Vermont evenings, along with a convenient office nook. French doors open to the well-appointed chef's kitchen with stainless steel appliances, ample cabinetry, and an inviting eat-in dining area. A fully screened porch extends the living space and provides the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. A beautiful hardwood staircase leads to the upper level, where two spacious bedrooms and a full bath create a comfortable private retreat. The lower level offers additional flexibility with a finished den, guest space, or home office, while the unfinished portion is thoughtfully arranged as a workshop for the home hobbyist. Meanwhile a walkout entry boasts direct access to the concrete patio and backyard. With its exceptional maintenance, thoughtful updates, inviting outdoor spaces, peaceful setting, and spectacular East Middlebury location, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy the best of Vermont living just minutes from town.
