Tucked away in a rural setting, this 2 bedroom, 1 bath, ranch style home offers spectacular views overlooking Barber Pond. Inside, you’ll find a warm and inviting cabin style interior, complete with natural wood accents and a Vermont Castings wood stove set on a stunning stone hearth for cozy ambiance during the colder seasons. The galley style, eat-in kitchen has rustic cabinetry, water views, a beautiful live edge bar top for counter-height seating, and a designated desk space. The first floor is complete with both bedrooms and the home’s one full bath. Downstairs, a bonus room in the basement offers flexible space. The layout is both functional and comfortable, ideal for everyday living or a relaxing getaway! From the dining room or primary bedroom, step out onto the large back porch which serves as an inviting extension of the home! This generous space offers the perfect setting for morning coffee as the day begins, or for hosting guests. Summer nights are spent unwinding after a day on the water or simply enjoying the surroundings and ample local wildlife. Imagine waking up to lake views through the primary bedroom's sliding door and window! Barber Pond is home to a vibrant mix of wildlife and year-round recreation, from bald eagles soaring overhead to fishing and kayaking in the warmer months and ice fishing in the winter, all while a scenic path by the pond invites biking and exploration! In addition to its tranquil setting up a private road, this home is conveniently located just 8 miles to Bennington and 9 miles to Williamstown, MA, giving you easy access to shopping, dining, cultural attractions, and year-round recreation.
