717 Orchard Road, Charlotte, VT 05445

Space, sunlight, and efficiency. This four bedroom colonial gives you a tremendous amount of room to roam both inside and out. The two car garage offers a new Level 2 charger for EVs, and leads to a dedicated mudroom, laundry, and pantry area with a convenient half bath. From there, the slate entryway opens to a spacious living room featuring hardwoods, exposed beams, a wood stove insert, automatic window blinds, and access to the sunny screened-in porch. A breakfast nook adjoins the spacious kitchen, and the formal dining room has plenty of room for larger gatherings. A large den rounds out the first level, and provides access to the expansive back deck. Upstairs, you'll find a primary suite, complete with dual closets, large bath, and west-facing windows. Three other bedrooms and a tastefully updated full bath round out this level. In the basement you'll find even more usable space, with a huge rec room, a second finished room/gym, and tons of unfinished storage. Other recent upgrades include a five head mini-split heat/AC system, new blinds throughout, smart home security system, attractive "puppy spaced" fence in the backyard, and new composite decking, porch screens, and sliding doors. Sitting back on a flat, lush five-acre lot close to the Shelburne town line, this home is perfect for anyone who feels that Vermont's seasons are meant to be enjoyed outdoors, and the bucolic surroundings almost make you forget how close you are to everything Burlington has to offer.
