The open-concept floor plan is perfect for everyday living and entertaining, featuring quality finishes, a spacious walk-in pantry, and seamless flow between the kitchen, dining, and living areas. A versatile first-floor flex room is ideal for a home office, den, playroom, or guest space.

Three additional bedrooms, a full bath, and second-floor laundry provide room for family and guests. The partially finished lower level offers additional living space with access from both the home's interior and the oversized attached garage, making it ideal for a recreation room, home gym, office, or possible in-law living. Outside, enjoy beautifully landscaped grounds with raised garden beds, a fire pit, mature trees, and a covered Trex front porch perfectly positioned to capture unforgettable Vermont sunsets. Owned solar panels, Tesla Powerwall battery backup, heat pumps, and high-speed MC Fiber internet provide exceptional efficiency, comfort, and peace of mind. If you've been dreaming of incredible views, thoughtful design, energy efficiency, and peaceful country living with modern convenience, The Stonewall Homestead is ready to welcome you home.
