Description

The owners of this sanctuary appreciate nature. No houses are visible from this home! Woods envelop these private 3 acres. Hike, run, ride, ski, snowshoe from the backdoor and within a mile reach Indian Brook Reservoir or Colchester Pond. This is a property with drama, serenity and exceptional, low-maintenance landscaping. The location is private but not isolated: Burlington’s Church Street, UVM, Lake Champlain and the Hospital are 7 miles away. The owners are artists; their keen sense of space,...The owners of this sanctuary appreciate nature. No houses are visible from this home! Woods envelop these private 3 acres. Hike, run, ride, ski, snowshoe from the backdoor and within a mile reach Indian Brook Reservoir or Colchester Pond. This is a property with drama, serenity and exceptional, low-maintenance landscaping. The location is private but not isolated: Burlington’s Church Street, UVM, Lake Champlain and the Hospital are 7 miles away. The owners are artists; their keen sense of space, light and style is evident throughout the open-flow. This is an immaculate 2-level hillside home with the 2,600 s.f. of living area smartly used to accommodate the master suite, a second bedroom and another full bath, plus a cathedral-ceiling living room, dining room and upscale kitchen on the main level. An open fireplace separates the living room and kitchen. A lower level offers flexible space - currently a bedroom and a family room; both open to a covered patio (and the hot tub!). This level also includes a laundry room and a half-bath. Many windows and skylights in this home invite the outdoors and sunlight indoors. Besides 2 patios, there are also 3 large, durable decks overlooking the variety of well-established stone walls and perennial plants, shrubs, and fruits – from apple and pear trees to blueberry, gooseberry and raspberry bushes. Attached is a 2-car garage. Bring all of your hobbies, plus your gear – for biking, gardening, skiing, hiking and playing ball!
