Picture yourself in a stunning retreat, where the gentle sound of a babbling river fills the air as you relax on your porch or savor a warm summer evening by the firepit. This classic Vermont farmhouse has been beautifully updated inside with a gorgeous custom kitchen complete with high end appliances that are a work of art. A 48" Italian gas range, Big Chill fridge and a handmade Moroccan brass faucet are just a few of the details! Custom cabinetry includes a bespoke island that is the center of the chef's domain. Throughout the home thoughtful design choices are around every corner. Wood floors throughout, and natural light is in abundance. A first floor bedroom and fully remodeled bath make one level living possible. The living and dining rooms feature built in cabinetry, and a wood burning fireplace is a focal point in the living room for cozy nights. Three additional bedrooms and another fully remodeled bath are upstairs, along with an office and large laundry room with hand stenciled floors. An attached sunporch is on the back of the home, with a cool bar for an amazing entertaining space. Walk outside and the magic begins there. Mature plantings, fruit trees, berry bushes, and open lawn space lead you back to the river. Nicely protected with a stone retaining wall, there are steps up and over to a cool riverside sitting area. From here you can cool off, sit and enjoy a cold drink, or just enjoy the soothing sounds of the river. Walking distance to the Waybury Inn for a delicious meal, or walk to the East Middlebury gorge, a beautiful and popular swimming hole. Tennis courts, library and a playground are nearby too! 8 miles (12 minutes) to the Snow Bowl for skiing in the winter. 5 miles (10 minutes) to Lake Dunmore for swimming in the summer. Enjoy the abundant hiking trails in the area as well! There is no shortage of ways to enjoy the outdoors.
