DESCRIPTION
-
Circa 1799 Vermont cape, thoughtfully restored and expanded to over 7,300 finished square feet on 12.5 private acres, minutes to Silver Lake and Woodstock village. Five bedrooms, nine baths, and a layout that balances everyday living with the ability to host. Original materials carry throughout, including wide pine floors, skim-coat plaster walls, hand-carved paneling, and period hardware, giving the house a consistent, grounded feel across old and new spaces. The 24' x 24' kitchen is designed for real use, anchored by an eight-foot Atlantic granite island and equipped with Sub-Zero, Wolf, and DCS appliances, dual Bosch dishwashers, and a walk-in pantry with tiled counters, extensive storage, half bath, and laundry. It opens to a sitting room with a wood-burning fireplace and full-height paneling. A separate wet bar includes a wine cooler, ice maker, and copper sink. Living spaces include a formal dining room, library with built-ins, study with Jøtul woodstove, a 22' sunroom with stone fireplace and custom windows, and a 34' screened porch with fir floors and painted wainscot ceiling. The bedroom layout offers flexibility and privacy, with a first-floor en-suite for guests and a primary suite with fireplace, private deck, dressing room, and bath with soaking tub and tiled shower. Two additional en-suite bedrooms, along with a large family room, office, and second laundry, are located upstairs. The grounds feature three ponds, fieldstone terraces and walkways, brick patios, perennial gardens, raised beds, and an apple orchard, along with tucked-away seating areas. Outbuildings include a heated three-bay attached garage and a separate 1,465 SF heated car barn with capacity for up to ten vehicles (four on lifts). Above, a one-bedroom apartment with full kitchen and bath is currently used as a short-term rental. Additional structures include a historic bank barn and chicken coop. 15kW whole-house generator, fiber internet, and updated systems throughout.
