Completely remodeled, totally turnkey turn-of-the-century farmhouse, on two private acres abutting conservation land and the Lamoille River - ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. Extensive 2013 renovations include a brand new kitchen and all new appliances - even a cast iron farmhouse sink and oak floors. New septic in 2004, vinyl siding and metal roof added in 2009, new hot water tank in 2010, new energy efficient windows and slider in 2011, new insulation and den addition in 2013-and that's not all! There's even a bonus room with a second wood-burning stove for you to transform into a guest suite, game room, family room-you choose. Outside you'll find a brand new 53'x10' deck on which to grill, dine or relax. The yard offers blueberries, apple trees, a chicken coop, a 16x10 shed (built in 2007) and 187 feet of river frontage, all of which translate into your homestead oasis within 35 minutes of Burlington.
