453 Marshall Road

Description

Point your weekend north. This North Duxbury chalet sits in a woodsy mountainside neighborhood where Camel's Hump hikes, VAST trails, and mountain biking start at the end of the driveway and River Road rolls you to Richmond in minutes. The home answers with what Nordic architecture does best: warm wood, clean lines, light. The kitchen sits at the base of the action gas range, dishwasher, chef's island while the main living area takes the loft above, wrapped in wood and looking down on it all like the treehouse you never outgrew. Not a square foot of carpet anywhere: radiant heat in the sealed-cement walkout below, wood and tile underfoot above. Two bedrooms and two baths on the main floor. Then the walkout lower level rewrites the floor plan with its 3/4 bath and room to roam, it's a natural primary suite, guest quarters, or flexible third space (the town lists two; the house is more ambitious). Ten-plus minutes to Waterbury Village and I-89 Exit 10 keeps Waitsfield, Montpelier, Stowe, and Burlington in easy range. Owned well and septic, propane heat, garden shed, satellite internet. More than meets the eye come see it in person.
