This is the type of property that doesn't come around very often! It is set on 2.5 private acres at the end of the road, abutting Vermont State Forest land. That said, it has terrific walkability to stores, Simon Pearce, the elementary school, Lake Pinneo, nearby hiking trails and Quechee Gorge. It's an easy drive to skiing, shopping in West Lebanon and hospitals. The land features level sunny spaces for gardening and gatherings with friends and family, and slopes into woods leading to State Land. This classic New Englander retains the charm you expect in Vermont. The spacious country kitchen has plenty of workspace and room for extra chefs. Original pine plank floors throughout lend warmth and character. The main level features a generous living room suitable for gatherings, central dining room and a three-quarter bathroom. There are also two enclosed porches that invite you to relax with your morning coffee or after a day of work and enjoy the view. The second level features the primary bedroom with full bath and laundry combined, 2 additional bedrooms and a bonus room perfect for a den, office or quiet reading library. The zoning is R3 and it has possible subdivision potential; the town zoning office can provide the necessary information and procedures. This home is ready for its new chapter, offering many years of comfort and enjoyment to the next owners.
