20 Wallingford Pond Rd, E Wallingford, VT 05742

While only 5 minutes from the pavement this off the beaten path colonial feels like you are living in the middle of nowhere. It is tucked into the Green Mountain National Forest and is a pass-through for all of Vermont's wildlife. With 2 stories and a basement at 490 square feet each, you get that small cottage feel with plenty of space to spread out and raise a family or settle into a downsized cozy home. With new upgrades like a metal roof, foam insulation, and a forced hot air furnace this home is toasty warm and dry. A brand new septic system was installed in 2018 and the exterior infrastructure was updated with a block retaining and a freshly resurfaced driveway. With 2 stories and a walkout basement, there is space for gathering and quiet time. There are 2 bedrooms on the 2nd floor with vaulted ceilings and soothing morning and afternoon light. There is a landing for thoughtful storage above the stairs and a large hall. The first floor holds the heart of the home with a U shaped kitchen, a new stainless stove, counter depth double door refrigerator/freezer and a warm butcher block counter. The kitchen opens up to the living room with an apple red Vermont Castings Wood Stove and neutral tile flooring durable enough to withstand Vermont seasons. The dining area is cozy with room for a hearty family dinner. The updated soft white bathroom has a low flow toilet, oval pedestal sink, and a walk-in shower.
