Wonderful country setting, yet still conveniently located, this Contemporary Farmhouse offers a functional floor plan, nooks and cranny charm, and room for expansion. The heart of this home is the centrally located kitchen with eating bar, hard surface counters, and custom cabinetry. Directly off the open concept kitchen is a Great Room with cathedral ceiling, wood burning fireplace with a brick hearth, and a like-new mini split A/C unit for warmer summer days. The large southeast-facing deck is accessed from both the Great Room and the 1st floor bedroom for total living convenience. The north side of the home is evenly split between a formal dining room and den/living room. The oversized attached garage and accompanying mudroom makes everyday access a breeze. The second floor features two large bedrooms, smaller office, full sized bath, and giant bonus/bedroom. The basement is totally unfinished but with a walkout design and room for additional grade level windows, it's an easy way to add more high quality living space, if needed. The beautifully landscaped grounds are fairy tale-like, with natural ledge outcroppings, perennial garden borders, and views of Shelburne Pond. The west side of the lot includes approximately 3 acres of pasture, suitable for raising large animals, and the west side is a wooded wonderland and abuts 16 acres of Shelburne Town Forest. Located just minutes to CVU and South Burlington via Route 116 east, you feel miles away yet are so close.
