8126 Pomfret Rd, Pomfret, VT 05053

Newer, beautifully constructed timberframe home on 16.98 private acres in desirable Pomfret Vermont. The house is privately situated with open fields, woods and trails - and has a nice view from the house of nearby hills. The house has a 3-story open-concept floorplan, with an open wood-and-wire center staircase. The main living level enjoys a kitchen, dining and living room spaces plus a half-bath/laundry. The gourmet kitchen has custom cabinetry, soapstone countertops & sink, and high quality appliances. Upstairs are two bedrooms with vaulted ceilings, and a full bath with copper tub and separate tile shower. The walk-out basement, with propane Rinnai heater and woodstove, has a full-height ceiling, and could be easily renovated into additional living space. The house is wrapped with SIPS insulated panels, and is currently fully off-grid utilizing a solar+battery system plus an automatic propane back-up generator, with Viasat internet-phone. The seller is having cedar shake siding completed and is installing a brand new solar battery array ($21,000) and brand new backup propane generator - so the house will be good to go for many years. In the future, buyers could connect to the grid from a pole approx. 75 feet from the top of the driveway. The driveway comes off of the paved Pomfret Road, and provides easy access to everything in the area - just 20 mins to Woodstock and 20-30 mins to Hanover/Dartmouth, and I-89.
