This vintage midcentury modernist chalet takes advantage of the natural hillside by merging it into the existing land contours for minimal disruption of the sites natural beauty.

Why the Owner Chose Stowe
Foremost, Stowe has the best skiing and is best New England mountain town, bar none, in the east. The house is set on about an acre of land into a hillside just off Mountain Road less than 5 miles away from Mt. Mansfield. If a group need to split up (someone want to stop skiing early or go shopping) the town's shuttle service can drop you off at the end of our street and it's a short walk to the house. The house is located in the one of America's first ski communities built when the golden age of skiing dawned in the sixties. It is a "deck house" design and the are several others in Stowe of the same vintage. There are several retro features that have luckily been preserved. A "deck house" is an architectural design where the roof and ceiling system is wholly supported by the exterior walls. The upper level ceiling is natural wood and exposed structural wood beams give it a warm and open feeling. The house also has 2 similar sized family rooms. The upper level is off the eating area and the lower level is just underneath it adjacent to the pool/game room. Fire wood is provided. If part of your brood is exuberant and late nighters the expansiveness of the house lets everyone do their thing without disturbing someone who wants a more peaceful experience. It is very close to the mountain, under a 10 minute drive. We insist that our neighbors privacy and tranquility be respected for this house is in mixed residential neighborhood but is quite private.
