About This Home

As of April 2023

Delightful 3-bedroom home recently renovated and modernized while maintaining the character and charm from the 1880’s. The open concept kitchen and living room provide a spacious area for entertaining. The first level features hardwood floors, beams, and amazing views of the Middlebury River. Direct access to the river for swimming and fishing right from your own backyard. Also on the first level, you will find a bonus room, ¾ bath, and family room with access to the deck and backyard. In the winter, warm up by the wood stove in the living room, and in the summer enjoy the sun out on the back deck while listening to the river. Upstairs, the bedrooms have beautiful hardwood flooring. The bright primary bedroom is equipped with its own full bath, while the other two bedrooms have a shared bath. The laundry closet is also on this level, centrally located between all the bedrooms. The 2-story 2-car garage is great for covered parking and storage. A 10 minute drive to the center of Middlebury, 40 minutes to Rutland, and 1 hour to Burlington. Closing mid to late June, 2023.
