348 Fort Defiance Hill, Barnard, VT, 05031

You immediately become aware of the very special nature of this property the moment you turn onto the tree-lined driveway winding to the top of a mild grade where the home is perfectly sited. The barn garage section was built in 2010 and the main residence was added in 2019. The many features of this house make it a perfect primary residence or a welcoming vacation retreat. Open format kitchen-dining-living area with an artfully crafted stone wood-burning fireplace as the centerpiece of this main living area. An adjoining three season room off the dining area enhances the overall livability. Features almost too numerous to mention include: a main level primary bedroom suite with walk in closet and bath with a large fully tiled walk in shower; well-designed mudroom with crafted built-ins; there is a separate adjoining wing with two bedrooms, a large bright sleeping loft, a second full sized kitchen, a sitting area and a three-quarter bath; at ground level there is an expansive bright full walk out basement; a heated oversized two car garage; a stone patio and firepit overlooking a mountain view; an outside shower and an automatic propane generator. The location is perfect, being close to Barnard General Store and Silver Lake, a short drive to Woodstock and an even shorter drive to Saskadena Ski area and all the amenities of Teago.
