371 Halpin Rd Middlebury, VT 05753

An architect designed home perfectly sited on 10 acres gives you the privacy you want without being too far from neighbors and town. You'll have the pleasure of country living while being just a 4 minute drive to the center of Middlebury. Beautiful walking paths around the property and just a short walk to get on the Trail Around Middlebury and Chipman Hill. Large ledge outcroppings, a spectacular stone wall and patio with artistic touches (part of a 1980's renovation by Turner Brooks), a tree house and established gardens all add to the beauty of the outdoor spaces. In addition, there is a large historic barn and three smaller, former farm structures - one is now an adorable playhouse. Inside you'll find an open floor plan in the main living area with gorgeous post and beam ceilings, Panton stone walls, fireplace (cleaned and inspected July 2018), brand new hardwood flooring, plenty of storage and natural light. The eat-in kitchen is well-designed and has been refurbished with painted cabinets, soapstone and butcher-block counter tops and new hardware. Through the window-enclosed breezeway, a master suite complete with a walk-in closet, two study spaces (one currently a BR), a full bath and a family room with floor to ceiling bookshelves. Down a few steps are two more bedrooms, a bathroom, a mudroom with cabinetry, utility space (furnace cleaned and inspected July 2018), cedar closets and more shelves.
