About this home
This 4 bed 3 bath cape is set nicely on 10 acres of open land for exploring and wildlife watching. Entering this home, you will find the essential Vermont mudroom, equipped with washer and dryer for immediate convenience after all of your outdoor activities. Continuing, you will find that the family room seamlessly melds into the kitchen, leading to the formal dining room, to create a wonderful living space for your family and guests. Natural light spills into the home and shines off the unique eucalyptus flooring. The family room is equipped with a wood burning fireplace for those cold winter nights. New cabinetry features multiple roll out shelving and the granite counter tops round out your new modern Kitchen. There is a second formal living room on the first floor, perfect for getting away to read a good book next to the ornamental fireplace. A distinctive aspect of this home is that there are two bedrooms located on the first floor, and two equally capacious family bedrooms located on the second. The spacious primary bedroom boasts a beautiful private bathroom, while the second guest or in-law room also has a private entrance to a full bathroom. There is plenty of charm and character to this home inside and out. Located just 15 minutes from Burlington, and 5 minuto all the shops, restaurants and entertainment that Essex is known for. This is the best of both worlds, peace and quiet of the country while walking distance to amenities. Showings Begin Friday 3/31.

AR
Agricultural Residential District
The purpose of this district is to protect lands with an economic capability for agriculture and which are now essentially undeveloped except for uses associated with agriculture or forestry operation. In this district, planned unit developments which do not remove the potential of the land for agricultural production such as open space, conservation and certain forms of outdoor recreation, are encouraged. Further road development and the extension of public water supply and sewage disposal systems are not planned for this district. Therefore, only low density residential and recreation development which uses existing facilities, which can adequately dispose of its sewage, and is compatible with the district’s purpose and guidelines should be allowed.
Permitted uses
