About this home
Here at 53 Sandhill Road, everyday living feels a little more connected to nature. This one-of-a-kind raised ranch sits on a beautifully curated 0.47-acre lot, where gardens aren’t just landscaping, they’re an experience. From the moment you arrive, you’re greeted by two established perennial gardens designed with intention, featuring rich soil, river stones, and slate hardscaping. Filled with Vermont native, pollinator-friendly plants, this space comes alive in the warmer months with butterflies by day and fireflies by night. A lower garden area offers wild strawberries, rhubarb, raspberries, and room to expand your own seasonal plantings. Out back, a fully fenced herb garden with nearly a decade of established raised beds creates the perfect setup for growing fresh herbs, lettuce, tomatoes, and more. The property naturally attracts wildlife, with regular visits from birds—including Barred Owls, and is thoughtfully enhanced with lilacs, a Japanese willow, and smoke bushes. Each spring, more than 100 tulips, daffodils, and crocuses line the walkway, creating a vibrant welcome home. Inside, hardwood floors run throughout the upper level, complemented by an updated full bathroom with a tiled shower and tub. The eat-in kitchen offers generous cabinet and counter space, creating a comfortable and functional space for everyday living. The lower level expands your living space with a cozy family room featuring a gas fireplace, laminate flooring, a half bath, and a dedicated laundry area. Direct entry from the one-car garage, along with a workshop and utility room, adds everyday convenience and functional storage. Recent updates including newer siding, windows, a paved driveway, and a garage door add peace of mind and enhance both curb appeal and efficiency. This is more than a home, it’s a thoughtfully designed lifestyle blending comfort, character, and the beauty of Vermont living.
