A home as sustainable as it is beautiful! From the stunning wood beams inside to the solar panels outside, this custom farmhouse was thoughtfully designed to be elegant and efficient. The main floor features open living and high ceilings and a half-bathroom off the entryway. The custom kitchen offers butcher-block countertops, Moroccan tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and an original porcelain farm sink. The artistic second floor – intentionally constructed to be cozy and heat efficient – offers three bedrooms and two bathrooms, as well as the sleek convenience of a washer and dryer. The lower level features a one-bedroom/one-bath mother-in-law-style apartment with a separate entrance. The apartment is currently rented for $950 per month to tenants who would like to stay. A large home office is located downstairs adjacent to the apartment, also with a separate entrance. Custom wood decks surround the front of the house. A slate deck in the back. The yard and gardens are easy to maintain with a firepit for evening fun. Five minutes from the cute shops and cafes in Vergennes. Thirty minutes to Burlington. Twenty minutes to Middlebury. Easy access to wherever you work or play.
