About this home
Tucked away in a rural setting, this 2 bedroom, 1 bath, ranch style home offers spectacular views overlooking Barber Pond. Inside, you’ll find a warm and inviting cabin style interior, complete with natural wood accents and a Vermont Castings wood stove set on a stunning stone hearth for cozy ambiance during the colder seasons. The galley style, eat-in kitchen has rustic cabinetry, water views, a beautiful live edge bar top for counter-height seating, and a designated desk space. The first floor is complete with both bedrooms and the home’s one full bath. Downstairs, a bonus room in the basement offers flexible space. The layout is both functional and comfortable, ideal for everyday living or a relaxing getaway! From the dining room or primary bedroom, step out onto the large back porch which serves as an inviting extension of the home! This generous space offers the perfect setting for morning coffee as the day begins, or for hosting guests. Summer nights are spent unwinding after a day on the water or simply enjoying the surroundings and ample local wildlife. Imagine waking up to lake views through the primary bedroom's sliding door and window! Barber Pond is home to a vibrant mix of wildlife and year-round recreation, from bald eagles soaring overhead to fishing and kayaking in the warmer months and ice fishing in the winter, all while a scenic path by the pond invites biking and exploration! In addition to its tranquil setting up a private road, this home is conveniently located just 8 miles to Bennington and 9 miles to Williamstown, MA, giving you easy access to shopping, dining, cultural attractions, and year-round recreation.

Imagine enjoying your coffee (or tea or milk) every morning overlooking the pond with the Eagles who regularly swoop in for a fish or the herons hanging out. Enjoy the activity of ice fishing or skating in the winter or kayaking and swimming in the summer just across the road from you. This home takes advantage of the beauty with a full deck across the front and a slider glass door from the dining room and one off the master bedroom. The cozy ranch has been completely renovated in recent years with new flooring and fresh paint throughout. A custom kitchen with a log bar top and quality cabinets including a built in desk and pantry. Living room with vaulted ceiling and new stone work around the wood stove. Just redone bathroom too! Perennials around the yard and a fenced in yard with fire pit and a new shed too. Only 3 houses on the road and though you feel "away from it all", you are only less than 15 min to Bennington, Vt or Williamstown, Mass.
