Charming home on 15 acres. near world class golfing and skiing. Bromley and Stratton Mts. 10 & 20 minutes away. Very large swimming pond on property and local quarries & lakes nearby. Scenic drives through quaint historic towns, view legendary New England Fall. Fine Dining abounds. Near Outlet Malls featuring the likes of DKNY, Ralph Lauren, The Gap, Coach, on & on.. enjoy BBQs on the deck in the summer while the kids chase fireflies, swim in the pond, play in the treehouse, or snuggle up fireside in the winter with a good book or play board games with the family. It's not a grand home but if you like history and charm it's for you. You will find all the amenities you need to keep you comfortable. Maid service can be arranged for an addtional fee, full time caretaker on call, local caterers available. No better place to spend Thanksgiving or Christmas with the family or come in the summer when the fun never ends. We are open to discussing pets (no cats though as our daughter is allergic!)The main house comfortably houses a family of 4 or 5 and the guest house can accomodate a couple with one or two children on couchs. In the summer you can also use our more rustic cabin by the pond which can accomodate 2 more people (it has it's own bathroom), and extra kids can always bunk in the barn (where we have a pull out bed and a couple of bunks.) Come enjoy!

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 1988
My husband and I bought our house the year we were married. We lived in Manhattan and would spend long weekends and summers there. The past 17 years we've enjoyed it with our 2 children with cousins and friends. The kids have grown up with a real old fashioned summer in vermont. We now live out west and find ourselves going less in the winters, but still spending a month in the summer. We also have a very large home in Park City, Utah that is available on occasion.
Why the Owner Chose Manchester Center
Well first of all because my husband grew up going skiing in the winters on the weekends from connecticut & then we got married in vermont. history, charm, outlet malls, community, museums, dining, fireworks,river rafting, family time, you name it!
The Unique Benefits of this House
we love swimming and playing in our pond in the summer. it's so relaxing BBQing in the evenings and roasting marshmallows on our deck. There's so much to do year round. It's so cozy fall and winter.. so peaceful.
