About This Home

As of January 2025

This once secluded cabin known to most as screenwriter David Franzoni's creative getaway has been completely renovated and the footprint enlarged. In keeping with its original charm this cape now centers around a beautiful open living room with a cathedral ceiling and an exposed staircase that leads to one of the loft bedrooms. This space could also be used as a home office as it overlooks the new barn and vast acreage. This addition also includes a first floor master suite with a walk in closet and a full bathroom with soaking tub. On the other side through the classic french doors you will find the kitchen that opens into the large dining room. This space also has another loft bedroom and bathroom which creates the perfect guest space that feels completely separate. The most recent work was the completion of the finished basement. This space is now a wide open family room with gas stove that creates a perfect place for a growing family to relax. Outside you will find that this perfect retreat is situated on over 17 acres that runs along Sucker Creek. So, if you love the outdoors then there is room to fish, hike and explore. All of this only 4 miles from Lake Bomoseen, 30 miles from Killington Mountain and 60 miles from Burlington. This one has it all. Welcome home!
