This stunning vintage home in the idyllic village of Calais, VT is a wonderful blend of classic farmhouse charm and contemporary style. Set on 6 private acres, the home's sloping lawns and gardens create a backyard oasis with soothing sounds from the magical waterfalls of Kingsbury Brook that borders the entire northwestern edge of the property. This 4-bedroom, 2 1/2-bath historic home has been beautifully restored and updated and features a wonderful wrap-around porch from which to take in village life. Inside, refinished original wide plank pine floors run from room to room on 2 levels. The stunning kitchen features dark blue cabinetry with open shelving and adjoins the sun-drenched dining room. A 25-foot Great Room with a soaring vaulted ceiling and wood-burning stove overlooks the lovely back lawns. An additional office/bedroom features an en suite half bath and another full bath is just off the hallway. Upstairs are 3 spacious bedrooms featuring more lovely pine floors, loft spaces, and reading nooks under the eaves, plus a wonderful 2nd full bath with clawfoot tub and shower stall. A rustic, finished basement room is insulated with a dedicated heat zone, perfect for a gym or workroom, and the detached barn/garage is great for storage! Bordered by acres of forest, with an endless supply of firewood and trails to the spectacular waterfalls, this home offers uncommon privacy, yet is just minutes to village shops and Montpelier. Once here, you won't want to leave!
