Before you enter this charming oversized cape, take a look beyond the covered deck at 2.5 parklike acres that just happen to sit adjacent to 19 acres of Middlebury Land Trust. Imagine yourself relaxing there ... and then enter the house. The kitchen was remodeled with white cabinets, matching appliances, and Corian countertops that have a drainboard scored into the top by the sink, and a metal trivet next to the stove that allows you to put hot pots & pans on the counter without damaging it. Between the dining and living rooms is a fireplace with a propane insert to supplement the hot water baseboard heat. Mini splits provide a/c as well as an additional heat source for the first floor. The town card says 4 bedrooms, but a small room on the main level, currently used as a laundry room offers many options to fit your needs. The first floor includes a primary with a walk-in closet, and full bath with a jetted tub/shower, plus a 2nd bedroom currently used as a music room. Upstairs, 2 huge bedrooms with built-ins, large closets, & storage in the eaves are separated by a generously sized landing for max privacy, and share the 2nd full bath with its updated Fiberglass surround tub/shower and a skylight that provides natural light no matter the time of day. A full basement provides access to the 2 car garage, and lots of storage. Schedule your showing and come fall in love with this well loved and well maintained home in Middlebury.
