This 1984 Saltbox home has been tastefully updated and offers a layout homebuyers will appreciate. The 1,600+ sq ft of living space starts with a cathedral-ceilinged living room with an open loft area above. Featuring shaker-style soft-close cabinetry, stainless appliances, and HIMACS counters, the U-shaped kitchen offers great storage and workspace. There's bar seating at the peninsula and room for a dining table by the 6' slider, which opens to the 8x34' screened porch. Add a loveseat or a set of chairs around the brick fireplace with woodstove insert and you're ready to nestle in on chilly autumn nights. Off this area is the main floor bedroom with an en suite full bath. A spacious primary bedroom and 2 additional bedrooms are upstairs along with another full bath. The attached 2-bay garage has a workshop addition on the back, and the second level bonus space with a cathedral ceiling awaits your ideas, whether you need a large office, art studio, home gym, etc., you can create it here. The exterior was painted last fall, and there's a standing seam metal roof. Set on 7 open and wooded acres in the country there are large, level lawn areas with a spattering of oak, maple, and apple trees, as well as berry bushes. VASA and VAST trails are close by, and it's a quick commute to Newport or a 20-minute drive to Jay Peak Resort. Come take a look at this wonderful home and you could be watching the leaves change color from the comfort of your new covered front porch.
