About this home
Set on 3.7 beautiful acres, this log home checks all the boxes for a year-round residence or as a Vermont getaway. The home offers 2,700 square feet of finished living space on three levels. Perfectly set up for spending time with the family or entertaining friends. The dining area features French doors that open to the front deck, ideally located for summer cookouts. The cathedral ceiling continues into the living room, with cozy seating for everyone, and a glass-front woodstove to warm you after a day of snowmobiling. The efficient U-shaped kitchen is outfitted with glass-front upper cabinets, updated appliances, and new dark granite countertops, along with new flooring. The main floor bedroom has 2 closets and could fit a king-size bed with room to spare. It also has direct access to a full bath. A laundry closet is conveniently located in the side entry. The two upstairs bedrooms boast wide, deep closets, with room to store seasonal clothing and gear, holiday decorations, and much more. A shared full bath finishes this level. The partially finished walk-out basement has a den area, a bonus room, and bath with spa tub. This home is being sold fully furnished. Recent updates include a standing seam roof on the house, and redone siding on the detached 2-car garage. Established perennials add pops of color to the manicured lawn, and mature trees provide shade and privacy between the yard and the VAST trail at the top of the property. Step inside with the 3D tour.
