About this home
Here is a well maintained multi-level Contemporary Cape “House in the woods" with three bedrooms, two baths with wood floors (curly maple, oak and cherry). Wonderful kitchen with an Aga stove and soapstone countertops. The bottom level has a heated one car garage/workshop and a family room with Vermont slate floors heated by a Jotul wood stove. But the best feature is the 23'x32' two and one half story timber frame multi use barn/guest house/studio/library/workshop/media room/play room etc. which is heated with two efficient Rinnai propane heaters and finished with beautiful wide board pine and douglas fir floors with a 16'x15' loft and a four car garage space on the lower level. Everything about this property shows attention to unique details. Three hundred square feet of easily accessible decks, a screened in porch, a classic 8 x 10 slate floor mudroom, several sheds for potting plants and storing wood and tools--best of all, very little outside maintenance is required. Talk about location! ---15 minutes east lies Middlebury, the cultural center of Addison county with it's great restaurants and all the activities of a small college town and 15 minutes west lies the water related activities offered by Lake Champlain. Whatever your passion---biking, hiking, camping, fishing, hunting, boating, skiing, snowmobiling, off road riding or just curling up with a good book by the fire. This property has it all. Near the Snake Mountain Wildlife Preserve!
