Description

This extraordinary Vermont country property offers total privacy, stunning long-range views, and an elegant home just minutes from Norwich Village and Dartmouth College. A hidden gem in a serene, nature refuge, it is home to bluebirds, deer, barred owls and tree frogs. This classic center chimney Cape by distinguished builder Doug Gest combines the charm of a true antique with all the modern amenities. Reclaimed brick hearths, hand-planed raised paneled woodwork and doors, and wide pine floors evoke a sense of history. The gracefully proportioned living room, dining room and den, each with its own fireplace, offer comfort and sophistication. A striking good morning staircase leads to the second floor master bedroom and ensuite bath boasting handmade Italian tiles. Two additional bedrooms share a full bath and entrancing views. Two well-appointed offices, each with private entry, provide the ultimate work-from-home space in a peaceful setting surrounded by gorgeous views of mountains, rolling lawns, fields filled with wild flowers, and meticulously maintained gardens and stone patio. Access out the front door to hiking, mountain biking, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. The spring-fed pond, home to turtles and frogs, is the finishing touch for this one-of-a-kind property in an absolutely heavenly setting.
