3637 Vermont Rte 7A

Imaginative transformation over the years of an 1888 barn into a quintessential Vermont Village home. Beyond a white picket fence follow a marble walkway past an original hitching post to the welcoming windowed vestibule. This entry level opens into a bright family room or den. A peek into the bonus and adjacent utility rooms reveal the original massive stone foundation walls. Stairs ascend to the open main level which flows seamlessly along hardwood floors from living to kitchen to dining areas. A full bathroom is a reminder that the dining area had once been a bedroom. Step from the wide deck onto an intriguing hillside backyard. You have passed from the village below into the countryside with winter views of surrounding hills and mountains, flower and perennial gardens abloom in summer. Further back is a private storage shed. While the first level has an engaging cottage feel, the second level rises majestically upward with cathedral ceilings and viewing windows. One bedroom has a small loft sitting area. The other takes complete advantage of its spaciousness. Both share a full bathroom. Original beams, pegs and fixtures subtly interspersed throughout combined with current systems updates, exterior painting, interior remodeling are fine examples of how vintage ambiance and contemporary design combine to create an enduring Vermont legacy.
