About This Home

Here is your opportunity to be only the second steward of this charming home and property nestled along the Slide Brook in Fayston. Walking distance to the Fayston Elementary School, and less than a one-minute drive to Sugarbush Resort's Mt. Ellen. Tastefully updated over the years by the original owners, there is a lot of love in this home. The warm and open floor plan allows for wonderful gatherings with friends and family. In the summertime, relax out back on the deck and take in the view and soothing sounds of the Slide Brook that bisects this private homestead. Incredibly convenient to all three peaks, and just minutes from town. A truly wonderful place to call home or as a base camp to your year-round adventures.
