This Classic New England Colonial Farmhouse from the 1800's set on 86 acres underwent a complete renovation and updating, without removing any of the original charm, and the results are the sublime elegance reflected in its 10 major rooms. The Library, Livingroom, and Entryway feature beautiful decorative window and door trim, wide planked wooden floors are seen throughout the house. There are five bedrooms, three with ensuite baths, two additional bedrooms sharing a hall bath, and an office with its own bath. The completely redone cook's kitchen features a farm sink, wine rack, six burner range, Miele microwave/convection oven and marble countertops. Custom lighting illuminates the large dining area. Both the Library and Dining area have fireplaces with slate surroundings. The screened porch with its garden, field and mountain views and open on three sides, is accessible through French doors from the Living room. The house is surrounded by beautiful landscaping, with colorful perennials into the fall, with groves of maple trees described as "one of the most beautiful dooryards in Southern Vermont." A stone wall curves around the back of the house with two sets of stone steps which lead up to the sugar house (now a potting shed) and the pool area. The property also has a recently improved three-bedroom guest house with a gas burning fireplace, front deck and back patio with views of gardens, fields and mountains. A three-story barn and long shed round out the property.
