This four bedroom, two-bathroom Colonial style home is tailor-made for family living. Located close to schools and 5.5 miles to downtown Montpelier on a paved road, this home offers an easy commute and the best of city and country living. Love to run on dirt roads, paved roads and trails? We got that. Love to explore the hundreds of miles of country roads and mountain bike trails on a bike? We got that too! If cross country skiing is your passion, you are in luck with abundant nearby ski trails and the VAST trail. And, did I mention, it’s a gardener’s dream. Mature blueberry bushes and beautiful perennial beds, a large vegetable garden, raspberry bushes, and a 20 by 24-foot greenhouse make it easy and fun to grow your own food and cut your own flowers.

Enjoy the convenience of an attached two-car garage. Stay cozy in the winter with four zones of oil, hot-water heat, a Jotul wood-stove insert in the beautiful slate fireplace, and a propane heater in the family room. Granite countertops and cabinets galore make for an outstanding and functional kitchen in which to process your own dilly beans and salsa out of the garden.

The attached two-car garage with loft storage offers functional and convenient living for unloading groceries and storing the equipment and accoutrements of an active life. An unfinished but dry basement works great for a set of weights, a drum kit, band practice space and six cords of fire wood. A cold storage and utility room provides more than enough space for storing all your harvest bounty. Hardwood throughout downstairs. Wool carpet up.

Four full bedrooms, each have ample closet space. There is a full bathroom upstairs, and a one and three-quarters bathroom on the first floor with the living space. The school bus stops right in front. This practical, well-built and well-conceived home will feel like home and have your family running like clockwork.
