There’s a grounded, natural feel to this home that’s hard to put into words until you step inside. Wood, stone, warm light, and an incredible view all come together to create a space that feels connected to the landscape in the best way. Set on 3+/- acres with southern exposure in a peaceful country setting, this property offers both comfort and character throughout. The main level features a spacious living room where large windows frame the stunning view, while a wood stove, built-in shelves, and doors leading to the deck make the space feel both cozy and open. The dining area flows naturally from the living room, creating an inviting spot for everyday living or gathering with friends and family. The kitchen is full of charm with open shelving, a window over the sink facing the mountains, and a lovely arched breakfast nook that adds just the right touch of personality. A welcoming entryway with built-in bench, spacious laundry room, and half bath complete the main level. Upstairs, the primary suite continues to capture the beauty of the setting with windows facing the view, along with built-in shelves, drawers, a window bench, and a full bath. Two additional bedrooms and a second full bath provide comfortable space for family or guests. An attached two-car garage, covered porch, and the surrounding natural setting complete this truly special property.
Some homes simply grow more extraordinary with time. This beautifully preserved Vermont farmhouse is a remarkable example, where generations of thoughtful care have safeguarded the craftsmanship and character that make it so special. While its original charm has been carefully preserved, meaningful improvements including spray foam insulation, updated wiring, beautifully refinished original floors, and a freshly painted interior ensure the home is as comfortable to live in today as it is beautiful to admire. The home is filled with hand-hewn beams, wide plank floors, built-in cupboards, paneled fireplaces, and period hardware, creating warmth and character that simply can't be recreated. A spacious entry room welcomes you inside and offers flexibility as a mudroom or sitting room, complete with a generous walk-in closet. Glass-paned doors lead to the inviting living room where a beautifully paneled fireplace wall, built-in storage, and tall ceilings showcase the home's timeless character. Just beyond, the kitchen embraces its farmhouse roots with weathered floors, exposed beams, a vintage cookstove, and an effortless charm that feels collected over centuries rather than designed all at once. The main level also includes two spacious bedrooms, each with its own fireplace and built-in storage, along with a full bath featuring a clawfoot tub, separate walk-in shower, and convenient laundry area. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms and a 3/4 bath provide room for family, guests, or creative space. Outside, a welcoming front patio, covered rear porch, and open deck overlooking a small private pond offer peaceful places to relax. Apple trees, perennial gardens, and open space invite gardening and outdoor enjoyment, while a beautifully crafted workshop offers space for woodworking, hobbies, or a studio. Surrounded by a quintessential Vermont landscape, this special property is where history, nature, and everyday living comes together.

Recent improvements add significant value: a new 5-bedroom septic system was installed in 2025, and the driveway was completely rebuilt and raised with drainage ditches added along both sides. Despite its peaceful country setting, I-91 is nearby, placing Burlington within approximately 90 minutes and Montreal and Boston within a comfortable drive, making this an attractive option for year-round residents, remote professionals, and second-home buyers alike. Whether seeking a primary residence or Vermont retreat, this property offers the best of Northeast Kingdom living.
