Set on 12.3+/- level acres with views of White Rock and Mt. Hunger, this warm and inviting home offers something increasingly rare: a sense of solitude with room to explore. Open meadow, forest and old stone walls create a beautiful landscape, with trails that wind through the woodlands to the gentle waters of Patterson Brook. Inside, natural light and an easy connection to the outdoors define the living spaces. At the heart of the home, the spacious country kitchen features windows on three sides, welcoming morning sun to evening glow. The living room is a master class in bringing the outdoors in, with wonderful views of the meadow, woodlands and mountains beyond. A bonus room offers the potential for a main-level bedroom with a 3/4 bathroom. A generous flex room, anchored by a Rumford fireplace, provides options for a den, office, or guest space. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a full bath. The primary bedroom overlooks the meadow toward White Rock and Mount Hunger and opens to a private balcony. The perfect spot to watch fireflies twinkle across the meadow or listen for the distant call of a barn owl or Hermit Thrush. A walkout basement provides workshop and storage space, while the detached garage/barn adds even more flexibility. Some of what makes this property so appealing, the views, the trails through the woods, the old stone walls, the babbling brook and the way the light moves across the landscape, is best discovered in person. Located approximately 3 minutes to Rumney School and 15 minutes to Montpelier.
