Always wanted a low-maintenance, energy-efficient home in the heart of a Vermont town? This spacious, 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home is on Bristol's sidewalk network. It is an easy walk to eateries, shops, and trails. Middlebury is 20 min and 45 minutes to get to Burlington. Outdoor folks will like being 25 min from Mad River Glen and 30 min from Sugarbush. Swimming holes are nearby. This recently-completed home was designed to be low maintenance, a standing seam roof and Hardee plank siding. Copper flashing caps it off. Closets, custom details, and cabinetry have been included. Beyond the large covered front porch and mudroom is the kitchen featuring custom cabinetry crafted from local Vermont hardwoods. The kitchen flows into a dining area and living room. A backdoor leads to a south-facing, elevated deck w/views of South Mountain and the New Haven River, far below. The first floor includes a bedroom w/en-suite bathroom (single-floor living possible). The second floor includes 2 bedrooms with walk-in closets and en-suite bathrooms. You will also find a dedicated laundry room with a work surface and built-in storage. The walk-out basement has a variety of uses: home theater, gym, or living area. The space consists of a large multi-purpose room wired for video and sound, a large office/fourth bedroom, a dedicated workshop, and a utility room. Downstairs from the kitchen is a pantry with custom built-ins that provide extra storage for kitchen supplies.
