Between Mount Snow and Stratton, with Grout Pond and Green Mountain National Forest recreation just minutes away, this reimagined Vermont retreat has been transformed for a new chapter of mountain living. Extensively renovated down to the studs and expanded with a new addition, this three-bedroom, two-bath home combines the character of an established Vermont property with the systems, finishes and ease of a newly completed home. The renovation is comprehensive, including a new roof, new well, new heating, plumbing and electrical systems, new kitchen and appliances, hardwood flooring throughout, and a new 16-by-16-foot deck. The redesigned approximately 1,410-square-foot floor plan is on one level, with a private primary suite, two additional bedrooms and a second full bath. Inside, a beautiful stone wood-burning fireplace with a custom wood mantle creates a warm focal point and brings classic Vermont character to the updated interior. Black siding, natural wood details, and existing stonework continue that mountain aesthetic outside, while the new deck extends the living space outdoors. Paved-road access, no HOA and fiber-optic internet availability add everyday practicality. Grout Pond Recreation Area is just down the road, offering paddling, hiking, camping and miles of trails within the Green Mountain National Forest, with connections toward Somerset Reservoir. In the other direction, both Mount Snow and Stratton Mountain Resort are within easy reach for skiing, riding, dining and year-round recreation. Extensively rebuilt, thoughtfully finished and surrounded by exceptional four-season recreation, this is a place to spend less time working on the house and more time enjoying everything that brought you to Vermont in the first place.
