This charming timber frame Cape is nestled on over 14 acres of field and forest, with stunning views of the Adirondack High Peaks and Lake Champlain. Set well back from the road, with plenty of acreage for animals or extensive gardens, a tranquil enclave welcomes you. The home features an open floor plan with kitchen/dining/living room blending common space with uncommon atmosphere. Cathedral ceilings further lift the sense of spaciousness. Entry through the custom-tiled mudroom leads past a first-floor bedroom and bath to the main living area beyond. An elevated sundeck offers amazing vistas and shade from a retractable awning. The spacious screened porch off the kitchen/dining area affords ample room for outdoor dining and entertaining. A soapstone woodstove in the living room complements radiant floor heating to keep things cozy. Newly installed heat pumps provide additional heat along with summertime coolness. Upstairs, a large open loft is ideal for guest space, a home office or family room. The lower walkout level has a finished room – roomy enough for a second bedroom and sitting area – plus a 3/4 bath. This level also houses the laundry room and abundant storage with shelving. The heated two-bay garage features an extensive storage area above. A carport on the side provides added parking and wraps around the back; great for covered firewood storage. Close to boating, parks, historic sites, orchards & general store. About 15 minutes to Middlebury…miles from ordinary.
