Located in the quintessential Vermont town of Bristol, perched above the nearby New Haven River, this private home is a peaceful retreat, with the Green Mountains as a backdrop! The 3-bedroom, nearly 1,600 sf home features a wonderful classic alpine style, wrap-around deck with spectacular mountain views! Set on 1.8 picturesque acres, the property features a custom entrance ramp, bordered by alpine perennials, for easy access. Inside, a large south-facing sunroom makes you realize that this is no ordinary ranch style home. Its whimsical, mid-century modern vibe, rich wood floors, bay windows & sun-drenched rooms are uniquely inviting. The kitchen's copper clad ceiling and custom lighting offset the black granite counters & warm wood cabinetry. A partial wall separates the kitchen from the spacious living room with wood stove & brick hearth. And all around are the breathtaking mountain views through the many windows and wrap-around deck! Three charming bedrooms and a large custom bath complete the floor plan. A partially finished bonus room and 3/4 bath plus laundry are in the basement, ready for finishing touches. This comfortable, alpine home on nearly 2 acres also includes an oversized garage & wood shed. With easy access to skiing, hiking, fishing, & biking and a 15 min. drive to Middlebury or 45 min. to Burlington, this home is an incredible find!
