At first glance this 3-bedroom house appears to be built in the traditional Cape Cod style, but once you're inside you'll see there is so much more to it. The tiled main entry/mud room leads on one side to an attached garage, and on the other side to the open kitchen/dining area, where the focal point is a substantial eat-at island with quartz countertop. A spacious bright living room has large windows on two sides and built-in shelving on an entire wall. Just off the living room is a generous nook that would make a great at-home office. Take six steps down from the kitchen and you are in the sunroom, with sliding doors and floor-to-ceiling windows that open to the landscaped backyard. Terracotta tiles and a propane stove make this a delightful family room. Go down six more steps and you are in the finished basement, with study, laundry, and recreation rooms. On the top floor, an en-suite primary bedroom has a heat pump, a walk-in closet, and heated tile flooring in the bathroom. Two more bedrooms and a full bath complete the upper level. Many recent upgrades include a standing-seam roof in 2020, a new furnace, two remodeled bathrooms, and a whole-house humidifier. Set back from the street, the private location is just minutes from downtown Middlebury's village green, shopping, and dining. Also nearby are excellent hiking, biking, and skiing, and many more outdoor activities. The house is special, the location is super, and the price is right.
