Property Description

Certain homes capture your heart before you even step inside, and this enchanting East Montpelier farmhouse is one of them. From its graceful architecture and welcoming covered porch to its sun filled rooms and gardens, 4288 County Road overflows with warmth, character and Vermont charm. Natural light pours through windows in nearly every direction, including a dramatic stairway window rising across two levels. The inviting first floor offers a dedicated dining room, a charming study with built in bookshelves and a flexible bonus room warmed by a propane stove. Multiple rooms open to the shaded porch, creating an effortless connection between indoors and out. A beloved three season porch feels as though you are sitting right in the garden. Upstairs are three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The primary suite includes a private bath, walk in closet, additional storage and even a hidden space tucked behind one of the closets. Delightful details wait to be discovered throughout the home. Expansive flower beds draw hummingbirds back year after year, while established apple trees and a raspberry patch complete the country setting. An oversized garage painted classic Cabot Vermont red offers tremendous versatility and abundant storage upstairs. Separate garden and garbage sheds provide even more useful space. Enjoy colorful sunrises, full moon views and frequent rainbows. Deer meander through the grounds, coyotes and owls can often be heard, and a beaver pond at the bottom of the meadow attracts memorable birdlife. Mountain bike from the house, cross country ski out the back door and connect with the nearby VAST trail. Curtis Pond and Maple Corner are about three miles away, Montpelier is six miles from home, and the much loved Adamant Co-op, complete with penny candy, is about a mile down the road. Warm, soulful and filled with unexpected details, this is a home that makes everyday life feel more magical.
