About this home
Set on 2.30 peaceful acres in Franklin with sweeping views of Jay Peak from the property, this tri-level home delivers the country lifestyle buyers dream about, backed by four years of thoughtful, top-to-bottom updates. Outside, a spacious brand-new composite deck and 12x16' sunroom hardtop gazebo look out over the above-ground pool, creating the ultimate summer entertaining space. Mature fruit trees and perennial gardens deliver seasonal harvests, while a chicken coop, woodshed, and expansive open lawn leave room for farming, gardening, recreation, or simply enjoying the quiet. Inside, the transformation is just as impressive. The fully gutted kitchen anchors the home with modern cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, generous counter space, and a center island. The newer wood stove brings warmth to the adjoining dining area while new heat pumps keep things cool in the warmer months, and the living room stays bright with large windows and a separated layout. New windows and doors throughout, fresh paint, updated hardware, and luxury vinyl flooring tie every space together. Upstairs, three bedrooms share a fully renovated bath. A main-level half bath adds everyday function, and the partially finished lower level offers a potential family room, rec space, home office, gym, or just more storage. Peace of mind runs deep: a new metal roof, Leafguard gutters with a 50-year transferable warranty, owned solar, heat pumps with oil heat as backup, a hybrid heat pump water heater, a Generac whole-home generator (4 to 5 days of propane capacity), a Tesla charger, a water softener, and a whole-home surge protector. Under 10 minutes to Lake Carmi State Park, less than 30 minutes to St. Albans, and roughly 50 minutes to Burlington.
This beautiful Tri-level home sitting on 2.30 acres with an oversized attached garage has it all including views of Jay Peak. You will find over 1600 square feet of finished space with an additional 800. The home has owned solar to severely lower your energy costs! The yard is hosting strawberry plants, asparagus, apple, cherry, and pear trees with all its beauty. The home has a spacious entry with a 1/2 bath for convenience. You will have plenty of room to surround your table in the dining room measuring 26 x 12 with breathtaking hardwood floors. The living room and kitchen have an open concept feel with a welcoming wood stove central between the two. Leading to the second level you will find three bedrooms with one having access to the full bath as an ensuite. All bedrooms have access to the full bath from the hallway as well. In the basement a family room gives many options for enjoyment. There is access to the roomy deck aside the newer above ground pool off the back of the home. Enjoy the spacious front lawn with the raised bed gardens for all your growing needs along with the newly built swing set and multilevel play structure!
