Immerse yourself in the peace & quiet of this spacious contemporary home set on 2.42 acres abutting 50 acres of preserved land. The open floor plan features red oak flooring and is bathed in natural light from three sets of sliders that allow for seamless indoor/outdoor living. Easily prepare meals in the thoughtfully laid out kitchen while still keeping an eye on the kids or guests in the breakfast room and family room. The den could also be used as a formal dining room and opens to the formal living room with atrium door to the back patio. A dedicated mudroom and powder room complete the first floor. A huge bonus room has been added over the garage complete with skylights, kitchenette area, theater wiring, and full bath - perfect for an in-law suite, rec room, or guest space. The primary suite will wow with its sheer size, tray ceiling, walk-in closet, and private bath with double vanity, jetted tub, and separate shower. Two guest bedrooms share a full bath and a laundry room and home office top off the second floor. Finish off the full walkout basement with slider to paver patio, that's been roughed-in for a full bath, for even more living space. An outdoor lover's dream, this home takes advantage of the natural beauty that surrounds with wraparound deck, hot tub deck, and two patios. The enclosed porch allows you to enjoy the outdoors when the weather turns. Feels secluded and private, but less than 10 minutes to Essex Junction and just 9 miles to downtown Burlington.
