As you ride up the long, paved, maple tree-lined driveway you'll fall in love with the location, and once inside this home you may never want to leave. The 2,480-sq-ft home is clean and bright, with an additional 850 finished sq ft in the lower level. The L-shaped kitchen features maple cabinets, granite counters, tile backsplash, stainless appliances, and a large island with gas cooktop and seating for 4. From here this an easy flow to the dining area and living room. A covered porch along the front of the house offers local mountain views. The primary bedroom has an en suite bath with double sink, tiled shower, and walk-in closet. A second bedroom and full bath, as well as a laundry room are found on this side of the second floor. Sitting over the 3-car garage is a den/game room that is accessed from the mudroom. The lower level is ideally set up as a guest suite complete with seating area and ¾ bath. Double French doors in the dining area open to the stamped-concrete patio and outdoor kitchen/dining area, where you'll doubtless spend hours with family and friends. Just beyond is a cozy fire pit area, and beyond that is the immaculate 3-stall horse barn with tack room. The 21-acre property includes pasture area, raised garden beds, and established perennial beds adding bursts of bright color contrasting with the deep green lawn. This home is 15 minutes from shopping and dining in the Newport/Derby area, as well as Lake Memphremagog, and an 11-mile drive to Jay Peak Resort.
