Properties Near 22 Orchard Hill Road Pomfret, VT

LICHENVALE at 22 Orchard Hill Road in Pomfret is a traditional Royal Barry Wills designed cape situated to capture sweeping views south down the Pomfret Valley to Mt. Tom, and the hills surrounding Woodstock Village. The well-cared for dwelling is naturally landscaped with mature gardens, and stone walls and sited on a level plateau at the margins of an open meadow below and the forested hillside above. The Vermont country kitchen and family room, warmed in winter by a woodstove, serves as an everyday living space. The south facing gathering space with hand-hewn beams, and soapstone and cherry butcher block counters opens into the large adjacent dining room creating an expansive entertainment area in the heart of the home. A separate traditional living room centers around a massive wood-burning fireplace and is the place to be for holiday celebrations and peaceful fireside evenings. Thermal glass doors line the southwest wall leading out to a brick patio, a semi-enclosed pergola and garden area for seasonal outdoor living. A window-lit hallway leads to the private primary bedroom on the westerly side of the house with ensuite bath. Four spacious bedrooms served by two full baths are accessed by two separate stairways. Thoughtfully composed, each bedroom is found at a cardinal point of the compass with lovely views over the land in all directions. The vine covered pergola and secluded pool enjoy views over distant mountains and are ideal places to gather on long summer days.
