20 Edwin's Pond RoadRochester, VT 05767Price: $500,000

Set on a quiet, rural corner lot just off Middle Hollow Road, this contemporary Vermont home offers a compelling blend of efficiency, flexibility, and long-term upside. Built in 1989 with a durable standing seam metal roof and solid wood-frame construction, the home provides 3+ bedrooms and 2.5 baths across a thoughtfully scaled footprint, with additional finished space in the walkout lower level. A drilled well, septic system, and 200+ amp electrical service support comfortable year-round living, while fiber optic internet makes remote work a realistic option in this peaceful setting. The standout feature-and where this property truly separates itself-is the oversized two-car garage with a large, flexible space above. The current ½ bath was designed with an eye for expansion into a ¾ bath plus a galley kitchen. Whether you envision an in-law apartment, guest suite, home office, or studio, the infrastructure is in place to unlock significant added value. With the ongoing demand for flexible living arrangements in the Rochester market, this is a rare chance to complete a high-impact improvement without starting from scratch. The lot itself offers a classic Vermont feel: just over an acre, wooded, and private, while still maintaining easy access to a publicly maintained road. The walkout basement and multi-level layout create opportunities for separation of space, storage, or expansion depending on your needs. Rochester continues to be one of the most sought-after towns in the Upper White River Valley, known for its strong sense of community, access to outdoor recreation, and proximity to destinations like the Green Mountain National Forest, hiking and biking networks, and multiple ski areas. The village center offers a charming mix of local amenities, while still feeling tucked away from the busier corridors of the state.
