Photos and video will be forthcoming on approximately October 10th. The delay in photos is due to an extensive refinishing of the interior of the home in the last year. The finest home in the Champlain Valley this custom craftsman is truly one of a kind. Breathtaking views of the Green Mountains to the east with the church steeples of the town of Middlebury peeking out of trees in the distance. Exquisitely designed gardens surround the house including perennial beds and low maintenance evergreens. The design of the home takes full advantage of beautiful sunrises, as each room of the house has multiple exposures, you are never far from the outdoors. A chefs kitchen with professional Lacanche six burner gas range, and subzero appliances, beautiful cherry wood and white marble counters lend itself to a classic timeless appeal. The cherry wood breakfast bar is a favorite perch for guests to participate in all the kitchen action. Truly open concept living, the kitchen blends seamlessly into the dining room with space for a large farm table under a gorgeous contemporary Hubbardton Forge Dahlia chandelier. Beyond the dining room the vaulted ceiling living room boasts features which include a handsome Rumford fireplace, custom wet bar cabinet and space for a grand piano. Pocket doors open onto a cozy den/office with loads of built in shelving and storage. The first floor master is just beyond, with age-in-place features already thought of, generous doorways, walk in shower and large walk in closet. The ensuite bathroom has the most breathtaking view of the perennial gardens which provide year round interest from the refurbished antique clawfoot tub. Back through the kitchen the back of house areas are a delight to the current owners. The large pantry with subzero dual zone wine fridge is a particularly loved feature. The laundry and mudrooms provided plenty of additional storage for all those field coats and Hunter boots you will need to tramp around your beautiful fields. Access to the garden courtyard is through the laundry/pantry, the perfect place for a soak in the jacuzzi or to revitalize in the cedar sauna. Heading upstairs, newly installed cherry hardwood flooring over radiant in-floor heat is found throughout. Two bedrooms, two baths and a sizable open area, currently used as a childrens playroom, round out the second floor. The north bedroom has a beautifully appointed ensuite bathroom including brand new custom cabinetry, marble counters and hand glazed tile from England. The bedroom itself is a relaxing haven, painted a deep navy blue with a feature paneled wall. A new chandelier adds tons of character to this space currently used as a second master, but would make a lovely guest space or room for a very lucky teenager! The second bedroom is generously sized and has a treehouse feel with windows looking North, South and East. The coordinating bath has also been completely updated with all new components, including marble counters, and soft grey hand glazed tile from England.
