160 Akley RoadBrattleboro, VT 05301Price: $490,000

Here's an open concept, post and beam beauty located on a quiet country road just outside West Brattleboro. Walk through the covered porch into the welcome foyer, where there's plenty of closet space for coats and gear, then enter the main home. The post and beam construction highlights the bright and open spaces. The chef's kitchen is complete with ample cabinet areas, granite counter tops, full pantry to hold all your cooking needs, and an island for easy sit downs or work space for entertaining. The kitchen flows to the living-dining room, with windows galore and doors that lead out to the deck. The Jotul woodstove anchors the space and will keep you warm on cold winter nights. On the second floor you'll find spacious bedrooms with a 3/4 bath and the main bedroom suite featuring an extra large bath that includes a shower and spa tub. Then upstairs to the bonus rooms with cathedral ceilings, perhaps a home office or study or just a quiet place to relax. There's a full walkout basement that could be finished if you need more space. Outside there are fruit trees, garden space, and almost 14 acres to explore, with Broad Brook flowing through the property. An excellent opportunity for comfortable country living within minutes of town.
