About This Home

As of May 2025

Imagine sitting on your wraparound porch or second story deck looking out over 16 protected acres, your own pond and a view of the White Rocks. Now, imagine going inside to your custom kitchen with cherry cabinets, granite counters and a large butcher block island. The open plan continues throughout the first floor living area with one of two fireplaces, half bath, laundry and a tiled mudroom. Upstairs, you can enjoy a large open family room, two spacious bedrooms, all with hardwood floors, a full bath with tile floor and a dream primary suite with an additional fireplace and walkthrough closet to your primary bath. It could only get better with a steam shower! Yes, you have that too! Top this all off with extreme energy efficiency in blown in insulation, radiant heat on all levels, including the partially finished walkout basement and attached two-car garage, mini-splits, Generac generator, variable speed well pump for amazing pressure and a whole house heat exchange system. Add in a post and beam workshop and a separate, fully furnished, beautiful one-bedroom guest cottage currently being used as a lucrative AirBnB. Tucked away but very near amenities and Bennington College. This is the property you have been waiting for! Priced to sell and an absolute must see!
