Set at the end of a quiet private road, this light-filled, energy-efficient home offers exceptional privacy, expansive views, and convenient access to town. Less than five minutes from downtown Manchester and within easy reach of Bromley and Stratton, the property feels wonderfully rural while remaining highly accessible. The covered back porch and expanded deck overlook beautifully landscaped perennial gardens, a quiet pond and wooded landscape, with a striking view of Mount Equinox that anchors the setting. The home has been consistently maintained and thoughtfully upgraded by the owners. High-performance Marvin aluminum-clad windows, a standing seam roof, extensive insulation, air sealing, and an energy-recovery ventilation system contribute to year-round comfort and efficiency. Recent improvements include a PurePro oil-fired boiler (2025), electric heat-pump water heater (2025), mini-split heat pumps for heating and cooling, and an EV charger in the attached two-car garage. One of the living areas features a high-efficiency Kuma wood stove insert for warmth and ambiance as well as radiant heat throughout the lower level. Multiple living areas and a variety of rooms throughout the house provide exceptional flexibility, allowing the next owner to configure spaces as bedrooms, offices, dens, or workout areas to suit their needs. Additional features include floor to ceiling south facing windows which bring light and the outdoors in all year round, a workout room over the garage, a tractor shed/workshop, and beautifully landscaped grounds. A rare offering combining efficiency, versatility, and a truly special view.
