Warm and inviting, this quintessential country home is perfectly sited on 8.17 acres to take advantage of the extraordinary vistas this stunning property offers, including sweeping westerly views of the Adirondack Mountains. While the meadow, large swimmable pond, screened gazebo, and gardens are enough to make this property special, inside you'll find a home built with love, quality, and great attention to detail by its owners. The floor plan is open yet well delineated and consists of a comfortable living room, a beautifully custom-designed kitchen, formal dining room, breakfast area, and spacious great room (which is a favorite of the owner). Spend any time in this room and you will know why… with its high ceilings, wood stove hearth, and wall of windows that offer both an abundance of light and long views of the mountains. The upper level of this home consists of two bedroom suites, while the walkout lower level offers additional finished area including a bedroom, office/den, 3/4 bath, and small laundry room. Also located in the lower part of the house are a workshop and an unfinished storage room. An oversized 2-car garage, with walk-up storage above, is attached to the house from the extended covered porch. Retreat to this meticulously maintained, idyllic property or enjoy the drive through the historic Hollow Road, hiking up nearby Mount Philo, and the convenience of the nearby towns of Charlotte, Shelburne, and Vergennes.
