Designed for comfort and entertaining, the home features 4 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, and an attached 2-car garage. Elegant details include four fireplaces, verdi marble flooring, Marvin windows, a slate roof, and a Viessmann boiler—premier materials chosen for durability and style. The dramatic living room boasts a large wood-burning fireplace framed by 8-foot, 12-panel Marvin windows, crescent-shaped upper windows, and soaring 30-foot ceilings that fill the space with natural light. The chef’s kitchen will delight serious cooks, offering THOR double ovens, a mini wood-burning brick fireplace, center island with butcher block top, verdi marble floors, soapstone counters, Wood Harbor cabinetry, and a charming built-in breakfast alcove. The formal dining room features 12-foot ceilings, crown molding, and direct access to an elevated synthetic sundeck, ideal for entertaining or relaxing outdoors. The intimate den, with its brick fireplace, wet bar, and copper sink, provides a cozy retreat for quiet evenings. A first-floor half bath and laundry room add convenience. Upstairs, a custom fluted staircase leads to two spacious guest bedrooms, a full tile bath, and a walk-in cedar closet. The primary suite (30x14) is a luxurious escape featuring a gas fireplace, 10-foot ceilings, crown moulding, and peaceful mountain views. Two walk-in closets and a spa-inspired primary bath include a sauna, whirlpool tub, tile shower, and double vanity. A fourth ensuite bedroom completes the upper level. Outdoors, the serene setting offers unmatched privacy while being just minutes from Dorset Village and Manchester amenities. This rare offering combines classic design, privacy, and enduring Vermont elegance.
