PRICE ADJUSTMENT: On a gentle rise surrounded by 7.5 acres of meadows and woodland, this Vermont style ranch subtly blends an appealing rustic charm with contemporary features. The current owners purchased the property in 2021 for family and friends and installed a new wastewater system, new furnace, new roof section, new appliances. The rough sawn clapboard exterior delineates the enduring character of the house. A fieldstone walkway introduces the central foyer with access to two wings. The focus of one is the living dining gathering area with the warmth of traditional wood paneled walls, pine flooring throughout, a stone fireplace and hearth, views from a window seat, bar entertainment nook, a pass through to the convenient kitchen, and access to the extensive deck. Two guest bedrooms, each with access to the deck, share a full bath and den or sitting room. A third guest bedroom has its own hallway full bath. A later addition wing opens to a spacious primary bedroom en suite with stone fireplace, built ins, cork floor, and window seat. Off a hallway a stairway leads upstairs to recreation room and an office. The attached garage with work space has access to utilities in the basement. A large shed off the back provides additional storage for gardening and equipment. With Bromley, Magic and Stratton resorts, trails, recreation areas, ponds, Manchester and neighboring towns shopping, dining, cultural events, this iconic property awaits the next generation's refurbishments.
