Perched on the eastern slopes of the Green Mountains, 1,500 feet above sea level, is an enchanting 53+ acre property with a historic and charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath Colonial home as its centerpiece.  Bask in the morning sunshine, above the fog in the valley below, as it streams in through your plentiful east-facing windows.  Have your coffee on the front porch before strolling past apple orchard and berry bushes to the 1/3 acre. spring/brook-fed pond for a dip!  The Summer air is cooler, and the bugs are fewer up here.  The land consists of 4 separate parcels giving you the flexibility for future generations or income production.  The home is centered on 10+ acres of rolling fields with rich soil, surrounded by 40 acres of mixed woods, including sugar maples, streams, trails and waterfalls.  The main level includes a cold entry, family and dining rooms, functional country kitchen with breakfast bar, spacious living room, guest room and full bath.  Upstairs hosts the primary bedroom, a walk-thru study, guest bedroom, den, and full bath with laundry alcove.  Other features include exposed wood flooring, high ceilings, full, unfinished walk-up attic, full basement perfect for canning/storage, and large farm shed.  The central location bordering Brookfield/Northfield puts you just 10 minutes from I-89, 30 minutes from the Mad River Valley with Sugarbush and MRG ski areas, and 20 minutes from Montpelier.  Or just relax in the serenity of your homestead.  This IS why people live in Vermont!
