89 Castle Rd Moretown, VT 05660

You could opt for a new, in vogue post and beam home or…you could travel a private dirt road (appropriately named Castle) to a different place in time. You won't encounter upscale bathrooms, 6-burner stove, or a squeaky-clean basement ready to finish. You will be welcomed in to one of the most inviting, warm and gracious homes in the Mad River Valley. Special features of this well-maintained, 4 bedroom, 4 ½ bath home include rustic wood paneling rescued from a local barn, a charming, octagonal breakfast room with wrap-around views, paneled library with cathedral ceiling and stone fireplace, formal dining and living rooms with stunning views towards the Northfield range, an old-fashioned kitchen complete with an indoor grill, a large mud/ski boot room with brick flooring, wet bar, steam shower, sauna and more. Step outside from library or living room to a delightful stone terrace and barbecue, or stroll beautifully-landscaped grounds down to a large in-ground pool (admittedly in need of replacement). Invite family and friends with ease; the bedrooms, each with a private bath, are large and separate and the dining room has accommodated 20 with ease. If you really need more room, there is a full third floor to finish. The property includes its own deeded house site and a 50% share of a 64 acre preserve of woodland with trails to explore and mushrooms to gather. If you are quiet, the local fox family might come to visit. Furnishings are negotiable; the memories are yours to make.
