Searching for a gracious family compound in a vibrant country village? This handsome brick residence has been a showplace since it was built by Judge Wilder in 1827. Completely updated for modern living while maintaining its historic detail, the 8-bedroom, 5-bath home is now complemented by a 3-bedroom, 2 bath guest house. Gather in the rustic game room and bar, the large living room with wood burning fireplace, or the light and open dining room and sun room. Cozy up with a book in the library, a favorite movie in the den, a cup of tea in the eat-in kitchen, or work in the home office with fiber optic internet. A roomy primary suite with sitting area, walk-in closet and spa-like ensuite bath is located up a private staircase next to a bedroom fitted as an exercise room. Six additional bedrooms and three baths over two floors provide comfortable quarters for friends and family alike. Lovingly improved by its owners, the house features an Aga range, 10 heating zones, generator, alarm system, and abundant storage. Outdoor living areas include a sunny south facing deck and a large screened porch. The post and beam 1,824 square foot guest house offers endless possibilities for the new owners. Its multiple living and sleeping spaces are augmented by an exterior balcony with picture book views. A short drive to Okemo, Bromley, Stratton, Magic, Killington, and numerous lakes and trails, and minutes to Weston's restaurants, shops and theater. Showings begin 4/26.
