Description
Set on 2 acres in Shaftsbury in a beautiful rural location, this 2-bedroom, 2-bath home has undergone an impressive transformation over the past seven years, with substantial improvements already completed and some finishing work for its next owner. The renovated kitchen is a true centerpiece, featuring granite and butcher block surfaces, double wall ovens, gas cooktop with pot filler, dishwasher, farmhouse-style sink, generous cabinetry, and a brand-new refrigerator still in its protective wrapping. The kitchen opens to the dining area, where a pellet stove currently provides the home's heat, and a spacious living room with exposed beams. This level has unfinished paint, trim, and flooring, allowing the next owner an opportunity to complete the space to their own taste. Additional tile is already on site for continued flooring installation. There is first-floor laundry and a brand-new propane hot water heater is another recent improvement. Upstairs, the primary suite is especially noteworthy. Once an unfinished shell, it has been transformed with insulation, wiring, lighting, sheetrock, wood flooring, built-in cabinetry, a cozy window seat, and a brand-new private 3/4 bath with tiled walls and floor, glass-enclosed shower, and pedestal sink. A second bedroom, full bath, and useful office nook complete the upper level. The property includes fruit trees, a chicken coop/shed, a detached garage with automatic opener, and valuable workshop and storage space, especially useful since the home does not have a basement. The wraparound deck offers both open and covered areas for enjoying the setting. The western exposure may be the best surprise of all: views across neighboring farmland toward the mountains, with colorful sunsets and an especially dramatic outlook once the leaves are down. A unique Shaftsbury property where major renovation work has already been accomplished, the setting is special, and the remaining projects offer an opportunity to finish the home your way.
