Welcome to this inviting 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath contemporary home, beautifully situated on 10 acres with a pond and lovely views toward Mount Philo. Set along a quiet country road yet conveniently located near Route 7, this special property offers peaceful Vermont living with easy access to both Middlebury and Burlington. Inside, the home is filled with natural light while retaining the warmth and character that make this contempory construction so appealing. Vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and a Hearthstone wood stove create a cozy and welcoming living space, especially during the winter months. The kitchen has been completely remodeled and includes a new electric range and dishwasher, while a mini-split adds year-round comfort. Additional finished space in the basement provides an ideal home office, while the remaining basement area offers plenty of storage. Outdoor living is truly one of the highlights of this property. Enjoy the peaceful surroundings from the beautiful screened porch, back deck, or crushed-stone patio, all overlooking the natural landscape. The level acreage offers wonderful possibilities for gardening, recreation, or horses, with raised garden beds and charming window boxes already adding to the setting. Wildlife passes through the property throughout the seasons, making this a wonderful place to experience nature right outside your door. Car enthusiasts, hobbyists, or anyone needing extra storage will appreciate both the attached two-car garage and detached garage. The second floor of the detached garage offers additional potential for future finished space, while the garage itself could also be insulated for expanded year-round use. Although the setting feels wonderfully private and rural, everyday conveniences are never far away. Enjoy nearby dining favorites such as Starry Night and Backyard Bistro, along with easy access to shopping, services, and recreation throughout the Champlain Valley.  This property offers the best of VT!
