It is hard to imagine a home that is more loved than this one. Sitting with the owner, I heard the tale of when this home was purchased by the family in August 1945. As we walked around, I was shown the large maple that was climbed when she was young and the large pond that was always a part of the summers spent here. 76 years of loving history by one family! The property is bordered almost entirely by the Green Mountain National Forest creating one of the most unique and protected settings. There are stonewalls, two small ponds with gardens, a stream, the large pond and VIEWS!! There is wildlife abound and owners have list of birds that they have seen or heard on the property (over 100 different birds!). Nature enthusiasts take note. The two car garage does offer heat in one bay with and open living space above (currently rented). The garage has its own independent systems with the exception of the water which is shared. The home built in the mid 1800s has undergone additions and some upgrades over the years. The wide pine floors and sundrenched rooms create warm interior space throughout. There are two Rumford fireplaces on the lower level and option for a main level bedroom if desired, gorgeous beams, large windows and solid home are what you will find here. The property offers excellent location: minutes to Belmont, Weston and Okemo/Vail resort, 3 hours to Boston, 4.5 hours to NYC and 20 minutes to Rutland Airport.
