About This Home
As of May 2025Enjoy breathtaking views of the Taconic Mountain Range (and the Bennington Monument) all the way to Mount Greylock. Make this your new Vermont paradise! This coveted single level Ranch has the WOW factor at every turn and is being offered with all furnishings and accessories. Large windows and skylights flood the rooms with natural light. A modern chef's kitchen features a Viking range and beautifully designed cabinetry. The home merges a perfect blend of classic elegance with an open and inviting floorpan. A spacious primary suite boasts big mountain views, large closets and an ensuite bathroom, along with access to a wonderfully private screened in porch. Two other bedrooms and a shared bath are enhanced by skylights and vaulted ceilings. But that's not all, the basement has unlimited potential with its tall ceilings and almost 1800 sq. feet of clean and dry space. An attached 2 car garage is also part of the package. Sitting on over 4 acres with an idyllic pond and immediate access to mountain trails, there is so much more than meets the eye. Gently lived in and meticulously maintained, it would make an ideal primary or second home. Furnace and water filtration system only 2 years old. Close proximity to several ski mountains, as well as access to long country roads, hiking and biking trails, and views for miles! A peaceful and quiet setting within 20 minutes to Bennington and Manchester.
