121 Bessette Rd, Fairfax, VT 05454
About this home
Exquisite property offering views of Lake Champlain, the Adirondacks and unbelievable sunsets. This expansive home rests on 22.68 acres of a picturesque mix of open land, maple grove, extensive land scaping, a small pond, and stone wall. An entirely separate accessory apartment with an independent driveway and garage makes this custom home incredibly flexible; allowing for a completely independent living space. The home was designed so the accessory apartment could also easily be joined with the main house to create an expansive single-family home. The main house features a gorgeous, recently renovated kitchen with a breakfast nook and pantry/coffee bar; a spacious living room with a wood stove and access to the large wraparound, screened porch to enjoy the serenity of the private yard and views. First floor amenities also include a spacious office with a built-in library and a formal dining room. The second level features a great master suite with full bath and large walk-in closet, a laundry closet and a second bedroom with private bath. The attached two car garage has a separate workshop space with heat and water. The accessory apartment has 2 bedrooms, 3/4 bath with roll-in shower, 1/2 bath, living room, family room, deck, and a garage. Located less than 10 minutes to I-89, St. Albans and approximately 30 minutes to Burlington. If you’d love to live a quiet, relaxing life with plenty of space to entertain and play, this property is for you!
