It's rare to see a house like this, which has been so well built and maintained available on 30+ acres of land centrally located in Addison County. Within minutes you can be on your boat on Lake Champlain, having dinner in Middlebury or shopping downtown in Vergennes - and even less time to the town's general store! Immerse yourself in the privacy, surrounded by mature landscaping, perfectly spaced trees and plantings and as much or as little lawn as you want to mow! Compared to building a house like this from scratch (when you consider the cost of the land, infrastructure improvements plus the cost of building) this is an amazing value and you'll appreciate that from the moment you step through the front door. Windows everywhere allowing light to filter in and offering gorgeous views of gardens and outdoor living spaces (patio and covered porch) all around! On the main living level you'll find everything you need including a designated laundry room/walk-in pantry, powder room, spacious kitchen which is open to the living room - with a gas fireplace, stone hearth and built-in shelving - and dining area as well as a primary suite complete with a sitting room/office/exercise space, walk-in closet and tiled bathroom. Guests will be comfortable upstairs in two private bedrooms, another bathroom and a loft family room. The basement is huge with plenty of storage or convert some of it to a game room. A perfectly sized, detached barn complements the attached two car garage.
