About This Home
This unique home with a darling cottage, both yr-round and directly abutting thousands of acres of Green Mountain National Forest, is perched on 10 acres of quiet, very private hilltop in the midst of woods, streams, and trails. Striking Green Mountain views and an old apple orchard sit at your doorstep. Designed and built by an architect-owner, the main house (1024 sq ft) was completely renovated in 2014 incorporating new windows, siding, standing seam steel roof, and a kitchen with new cabinets and quartz countertops. Twenty-one solar panels offer environmental and economic savings. The smaller adjacent cottage (801 sq ft) was designed and completed by a local builder, adding a kitchen with granite countertops, a bath, a beautiful, pine-paneled library/bonus room and a one-car garage - opportune for creative space, guests, b&b, caretaker, rental income. New hardwood floors fill both the main home and cottage. Efficient heat pumps provide heating and cooling year-round in both. The main house Woodstock soapstone woodstove and the cottage Jotul woodstove provide cozy supplemental heating. Both interiors are lighted with handsome Hubbardton cast iron fixtures. The cottage includes a spacious screened-in porch and the house a large deck enhanced by Green Mountain views. Listed square footage is for the combination of main house and cottage. An excellent location for skiers and hikers, “the hill” offers easy access to Middlebury College Snow Bowl, Sugar Bush, Mad River Glen, and Killington. The Long Trail, which crosses Vt Rt 125 a few miles west and the adjacent Green Mountain National Forest provide exceptional hiking, mountain biking, birding, hunting, fishing, skiing, and exploring in any season. The eclectic towns of Rochester, Warren, and Middlebury offer dining, shopping, and cultural venues. The best of Vermont living!
