Escape to privacy and serenity with this inspiring home. The house is overlooking 10 picturesque acres in a nature-park-like setting. Organic gardens decorate the house’s perimeter. This oasis is in a sought-after area of East Montpelier, one mile from Adamant village and eight miles from Montpelier. This property is being offered by its original owners. A log-framed front porch guides you to the mudroom (with an adjacent full bath) into the calming open-concept ground level. The warmth of the radiant-heated floor and abundant natural light fill the space. The granite ‘Russian fireplace’ is the focal point of this floor. Local white pine timbers complement the eight-foot-high ceilings. The easily navigable kitchen features a gas oven/range, butcher block counters, open cabinetry, and a two-bay farmhouse sink. A multi-shelf pantry is steps away. Large windows on the ground level and a passive solar design fill the house with sunlight in the winter, and large overhangs keep the house cool in the summer while taking advantage of the postcard-like Southern exposure. Enjoy the fireplace in the living room or head into the adjoining recreation room. Indulge in your evenings on the west-facing screened porch, which offers calming sunsets. The stairwell with hand-crafted railings takes you upstairs to find three comfortable bedrooms. The soothing bathroom features a six-foot-long jacuzzi/whirlpool bathtub. A conveniently placed upstairs laundry closet is at the end of the hallway.
