PROPERTY ADDRESS

137 Lost Nation Rd Essex, VT

Our beautiful, open floor-plan home offers the perfect setting for serene living and connecting to nature, in a private and convenient location. Originally purchased in 1985 as a dormered cape with 1,250 sf of living, our home was virtually completely rebuilt in 1995 (with energy efficient, 2x6 walled construction) into a two-story colonial by extending one wall to attach to the garage and building a full second floor, adding 1,000 sf of living space. In 2002, the garage second floor was dormered, adding another 400 sf of living space. Because of these dramatic changes, our home has been priced through a competitive market analysis (CMA) conducted in June 2020.

Our well-cared for home encompasses eleven rooms and five gathering areas of interesting, inviting spaces: a master bedroom and three additional bedrooms, two full baths, a kitchen, dining room, living room with fireplace, family room, open play room, an exercise, office, or multi-purpose room with floor-to-ceiling bookcase (finished basement), and play room or office. Oak flooring downstairs, full carpeting upstairs, oak and cherry wall trim and floor molding, and oak and cherry built-in bookcases and cabinets enhance the home's beauty. The home also offers a mud porch (great in all weather), large open rear deck, roof deck (off master bedroom), terrace with fire pit, and large screened-in porch; and a two-car garage.

The home's layout elicits intimate, engaging gatherings with your friends and family. Enjoy morning coffee and evening drinks on the roof deck, barbecue and relax on the rear deck, eat family meals in the screened-in porch, and unwind at dusk with a fire on the terrace. The property is open and accessible, while being serenely nestled with nature. The yard, perennial flowers, vegetable gardens, a variety of fruit trees and bushes, and shading trees offer a respite from daily life (map included with sale), while the rear outcropping offers a safe and fun playground in both winter and summer. Energy-efficient appliances and construction offer warm winters and cool summers; heat with oil or with wood plus oil, your choice. Storage spaces and a walk-in closet make for efficient living. Located on the local school bus route, and within easy access to Essex and Burlington services.

For almost 35 years, our lives, and those of our three children raised from birth, have been deeply enhanced by living here in our home. Now, you can make it your home and move right in.
