Here's a perfect home for someone looking for wooded privacy, but also minutes to downtown Middlebury. This 3BR, 2.5BA cape was originally a Thomas Dairy building from Rutland that was rebuilt in 1985 in this location. Exposed beams, wide pine floors, and vaulted ceilings are few of the charming details you will find inside. The main living level features the kitchen that opens to the dining area and living room, a half bathroom, mudroom, and a versatile room that can serve as a play space, office or formal dining room. The sunken family room is full of built-in book shelves and offers direct access to the back yard and to a large screened-in porch. Three bedrooms and both a full and 3/4 bath grace the second level. Throughout the home, the strategic window and skylight placement allows the natural light to flow and brighten up each and every room. Above the detached garage, you will find a finished space with a cozy wood stove that can serve as an office or studio. With 10+ acres of mostly wooded land, scenic beauty and wildlife abound right out your back door. In order to protect this area from future development and to maintain the aesthetic and natural resources, 8+ acres have been conserved by a previous owner through the Middlebury Land Trust. This home is far from cookie-cutter, so if you are looking for a home full of warmth and character in Middlebury, this is a must see.
