This charming, updated home sits on 1.6 acres in beautiful East Montpelier with nature at its doorstep. Fully renovated kitchen with stainless steel appliances and space to host a table for 14. Updated bathrooms. Hardwood floors throughout. New woodstove. Living room with wall-to-wall built-in bookshelf and a wide picture window framing a view of your backyard and the rolling fields and woods that extend beyond it. Stairway access to attic that could be finished for bonus space. The front and backyards are open, flat or gently sloping, and ready for use. Enjoy gardens, raspberry and blueberry bushes, and apple and crab apple trees. Take shade under the canopy of your own towering willow tree. Walk 2 minutes to access the statewide VAST trail networks (hiking, snowshoeing, x-country skiing, etc.). Walk a bit further to access the East Montpelier trail system (hiking, biking, snowshoeing, x-country skiing). Bike on quiet, rolling dirt roads that begin just feet from the driveway. Along the way, soak up pastoral views of neighboring farm-fields, barns, and distant mountains. At night, enjoy wide starry skies, fireflies, the crackling of your fire pit, the songs of spring peepers and owls, and the distant, occasional bleating of sheep, whinnying of horses, and howls of coyotes. All while being a quick 7 minute drive to downtown Montpelier.
