This well-maintained 2 bedroom chalet style home sits on a private and picturesque 12.9 acre country lot with a nice mix of open space and forested land providing privacy, wooded walking trails and abundant wildlife. The main living area is grounded by pine flooring and post and beam timbers with cathedral ceilings that create an airy feel. Take in the view of Mount Abe and the evening alpenglow from the main living areas. An efficient kitchen provides plenty of cabinetry and counter space and opens to the dining and living areas which include a central brick fireplace adding both character and the cozy warmth of a wood fire. Off the living room, two sets of sliding glass doors to the front deck make the outdoor living space feel like a congruent part of the home. With a retractable awning and recessed hot tub, the deck provides a comfortable spot to enjoy the outdoors all year-round. An entry area with large coat closet, comfortably-sized bedroom and the home's full bathroom complete the main level. Upstairs you'll find a cozy loft/second bedroom with a rear private balcony, which makes it feel like you are amongst the trees and an inside sitting area overlooking the living room and mountain views. The tidy basement includes utilities, laundry, and ample space for your hobbies or storage needs with double door walk-out access. Only 8 minutes to Bristol village, 25 to Mad River Glen and Sugarbush, and 45 to BTV International Airport.
