About This Home
As of August 2020Modern Luxury. 4 bedrooms, with detached chic office/ additional living space. Check out this immaculate Yankee Barn Post & Beam home. Open floor plan offers warm and inviting spaces that are ideal for entertaining friends and family. Superior architectural design and craftsmanship throughout including antique Douglas fir reclaimed posts & beams, a two-sided fieldstone fireplace and a chef's kitchen with a Viking range and refrigerator, and local Barre granite countertops. Extra large entryway/mud room. Essential for ski country living. Spacious and airy first-floor master suite. Upstairs you'll find three bedrooms and an open loft for a studio or reading area. The large finished basement is an ideal space for a recreation room for kids, a man-cave for dad, or maybe a home gym and yoga space. There's even a vented ski tuning room that could easily be converted into a wine cellar or sauna. There is a 500 sq.ft. luxuriously finished space above the detached 2-car garage that has a kitchen and a 3/4 bath. Sited on a private beautifully landscaped parcel with mature perennial gardens, and raised-bed vegetable gardens. All this with a wonderfully private location with extensive mountain and valley views that is walking distance to historic Waitsfield Village.
