The dream of a VT getaway has come true with this post & beam barn-style home. Perched on a hill overlooking the Barton River Valley, you’ll enjoy the trill of birdsong, the croaking of frogs, and the occasional chuffing of a deer as it bounds through the tall grass. Quality craftsmanship, energy efficiency, & creating a comfortable space to gather, relax, recharge & enjoy all that the NEK has to offer were the goals when building this property. An open floor plan on the main floor welcomes conversation. The dining area provides access to a new deck, where you can enjoy sunsets or gaze at the stars. Off the living room is a covered screened porch. A ¾ bath with laundry completes this level. Upstairs you will find a central loft space, perfect for reading, completing some work, or as overflow guest space. Large bedrooms are located on either side of the loft, with a full bath opposite the stairs. The finished walk-out basement has 9’ ceilings & provides additional living and/or sleeping space, as well as ample storage space. The house has high-efficiency propane heat, central AC, a back up auto-fired generator & a new roof. The oversized 1-bay garage has an overhead door & a sliding barn door for ease of access. Other highlights include an outdoor shower, apple trees, & plenty of room for gardening, games, or an outbuilding. All located within 30 miles of Jay Peak, Burke, area lakes & recreational opportunities. This may be the peaceful sanctuary you’ve been seeking.
