About this home
Wonderful opportunity to own this private getaway with two bedrooms, 2 baths with a multi-use finished walk-out lower level that has been used as an income producing apartment or could be used for an in-law space, guest accommodations, short or long-term rental. Lovely Lake Champlain, Adirondack and Green Mtn views where you can soak in the stunning sunrise and sunset. Enjoy the privacy and tranquility from this home perched high on John Stark Road. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate proximity to the lake, walking trails for snowshoeing or x-country skiing, one man-made chipping green and an abundance of wildlife and nature. Let's not forget the gardener in the family that will appreciate the gardens and fruit trees. Relax in the hot tub or entertain on the decks or sit around the fire pit for outdoor gatherings. For the handy person there is a huge, detached garage for toys, boats, and equipment. Inside there is a large, open country kitchen with an expansive view and hardwood floors. Elegant, open interior with pine ceilings and cherry floors. Relax and enjoy the ambiance of the two-story masonry fireplace on those chilly Vermont nights. Beautiful wall of built-in bookcases. Upstairs boasts a cupola area with room for a desk as you look out onto the lake and mountains. Only 20 minutes to Burlington. Pride of ownership shows as this home has been lovingly cared for and re-crafted over the last 8 years.

Located atop a small hill, in the midst of an expansive green lawn surrounded by mature trees, is this hidden gem! Enter the home through a relaxing sun room and find yourself meandering through the luminous kitchen. The open floor plan then directs you into the large, sunny living room with beautiful ceilings, and an architecturally eye catching stairway that leads up to the cupola. The cupola offers wonderful views of the property, Mount Mansfield, and Camelâs Hump, and also draws abundant sunlight into the home providing additional heat in the winter. There is a great wrap-around deck overlooking the vast backyard and faces SE for stunning sunrises. The backyard is open making it a great space for dogs to play. There are plenty of gardening options for someone with a green thumb! The location is convenient right off of Route 2, making it easy to commute to Burlington or any shopping destinations. Route 2 is also well maintained in the winter which makes for worry free travel.
