4232 Bolton Access Road, Unit 3BBolton, VT 05676Price: $550,000

Thirty steps from your door, you're on trail directly above the Snowflake lift. That's not an approximation. That's your morning commute. This three-bedroom, two-bathroom unit was stripped to the studs in 2010 and rebuilt to a higher standard. New insulation, windows, and exterior doors sealed the envelope. Radiant heat runs beneath the tile, and a gas fireplace insert anchors the living space with warmth and ambiance. Hubbardton Forge lighting and an in-unit washer and dryer complete a renovation done once and done right. Three decks are spread across both sides of the unit and every bedroom has direct access to one. On one side, you're looking straight at the ski resort. On the other, the Green Mountains roll west as far as you can see. You wake up to that view, have your coffee on the deck, and ski before the crowds find the good snow. Dedicated ski, board, and gear storage sits right outside your front door, so you're on the mountain in minutes. The resort's tavern is steps away for aprs. Bolton Valley is a year-round resort offering a reason to be there any time of the year. Alpine, Nordic, and backcountry skiing, night skiing under the lights, and snowshoe trails in winter; hiking and lift-served mountain biking when the snow melts. And when the weekend is over, Burlington is 35 minutes down the road. Most ski properties promise ski-in/ski-out and mean something else. This one means it.
