9 Walden WoodsEssex, VT 05452Sale Price: $485,000

A hidden gem, nestled in the country and minutes from Essex Jct. The home is close to hiking trails at Indian Brook State Park, and near schools, restaurants, golf courses, movie theaters, shopping, hospitals, colleges, the lake and Burlington. Nature lovers will feel far from town when, in fact, it's near to everything the area has to offer. The rooms are spacious and light filled. There are 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms on the top floor. The kitchen is enormous and opens to a large deck. It then leads to a light filled dining room and living room with forest views out of every window. There's a bonus room in the basement. It can be a large bedroom with play space, bathroom and living area. It also has a doorway to access the private backyard. Perfect for an in-law or aupair suite. Added features are 2 fireplaces, hardwood floors, ample closet space, a mud room and a 2 car garage. At just under an acre, the yard has privacy, an expansive lawn, space for gardening, and sports. This home needs to be experienced in person to appreciate its unique location. Photos do not capture the beauty of the neighborhood and potential of this mid century ranch house. The street is a small, quite road ending in a cul de sac, and great for kids to ride bikes. It is extremely rare that a house on this street is ever on the market. The house is a diamond in the rough. You can take your time and enjoy it as is but it will be even more amazing after an update. Open House Sunday, 10/22 from 1-3pm
