The country lifestyle with casual sophistication awaits! 3-BR, 2-bath Colonial has both local and distant mountain views from every corner of the 53.2 acres. Interior layout flows from one generously-sized room to the next... Functional kitchen, family room, formal dining and corner living rooms, as expected, along with a first floor full bath and bedroom, rounds out the first floor layout. Honey-colored exposed wood flooring is a mix of wide-plank softwood flooring and a more narrow slat flooring believed to be hardwood. High ceilings, and great natural light. Upstairs hosts the primary bedroom, a walk-thru study, den, bedroom, full bath with laundry alcove, den and closets, galore! Full, unfinished walk-up attic, too! Known locally as the old McKenzie Farm, the land fronts both sides of a low-traffic country road, including a 1/3 acre spring-and brook fed private pond, streams with waterfalls, roughly 3.7 acres of tillable acreage, 5.4 acres of grazing areas, the 9-apple-tree orchard/home campus of 1.6 ac, and 42 acres of mixed woodlands with trails. Herb garden, a variety of berries, vegetable garden, perennials, hops and rhubarb. The oversized (27' x 25'2) 2-car detached garage has an insulated, 26'6x19' heated workshop to the rear. Barn/implement shed has room for a tractor, too. Chicken coop (5'x8'). Come experience this property, and let the songbirds share their thoughts with you. Location is convenient for commuting, less than 6 miles from Exit 5, I-89 and 9 to Norwich University. Great area for biking, hiking, and only a short distance if you want to paddle around Rood Pond after dinner This is why people live in Vermont!
