This charming home sits on 1.6 acres in beautiful East Montpelier. Nature sits at its doorstep. Walk to the quiet, ambling East Montpelier or VAST trail systems. Along the way, soak up pastoral views of neighboring farm-fields, barns, and distant mountains. At night, enjoy wide starry skies, the crackling of your firepit, the songs of spring peepers and owls, and the distant, occasional bleating of sheep, whinnying of horses, or howls of coyotes. At the same time, you're a 7 minute drive to downtown Montpelier. This is the balance you've been looking for. As for the home: Hardwood floors throughout. Massive eat-in kitchen can host a table for 14. Updated stainless steel appliances. Living room enjoys wall-to-wall built-in bookshelf and wide picture window framing a view of your backyard and the rolling fields and woods that extend beyond it. Updated bathrooms. Quaint bedrooms. Substantial basement storage. Root cellar. Front yard and backyard are open, flat or gently sloping, and ready for use. Enjoy your own gardens, blueberry and raspberry bushes, and apple and crab apple trees. Take shade under the canopy of your own towering willow tree. Walk among your own swaying lupines. The sellers say..."Even better than this charming home and property is the surrounding community. Up and down the street are one-of-a-kind people ready to help each other." Property may be shown starting on Sunday, October 4th.
