Just off Craftsbury Common, you'll find this tucked away gem that's as picturesque as it gets. As the tree-lined drive bends, the trees open up to reveal this extremely well-maintained farmhouse looking out over a breathtaking view of Mount Mansfield and the Green Mountains. As you enter the home you'll find a comfortable great room, with a large hearth perfect for hosting large groups, and a show-stopping porch, gracious enough for the whole family. A comfortable kitchen and formal living room balance one side of the house, with a guest suite upstairs that has a separate entrance. On the other end of the home, you'll discover a bonus room with a full bath before heading up a second staircase to a well-appointed common area, an en suite bedroom, plus 2 additional bedrooms with a Jack and Jill bath, each bedroom featuring those beautiful western views. This 16.5-acre property is a combination of lush lawns, open fields with apple trees, and lovely woods with paths leading you on a serene journey. Craftsbury is home to Sterling College and the world-renowned Craftsbury Outdoor Center, with miles of trails for biking and running in the summer and cross-country skiing in the winter, as well as a preeminent rowing center. The home is 2 minutes from the Craftsbury green, where a farmers' market and cultural events are held, and within an hour to multiple ski resorts and many crystal-clear lakes. Come see this incredible house in the heart of Craftsbury and all that it has to offer.
