Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 1997
Our family moved to the Mad River Valley in 2000 from N.Y.C. We are both retirees with three children in college.We always enjoy hosting out of town friends and family at our home. We now have the opportunity to offer our home to others.
Why the Owner Chose Waitsfield
Enjoyed the peace and tranquility we always felt when visiting the Mad River Valley. After two years of using our home as a summer residence, we decided to move here in 2000 The valley is a fantastic community to raise children and to live year round. Fantastic location for outdoor sports and activities. Golf course nearby, two health clubs that offer tennis, many swimming holes and the mad river for swimming, canoeing, etc. Two ice skating facilities nearby. Just about every service and amenity one needs is available.
The Unique Benefits of this House
It is just peaceful and quiet. The house is very large with a nice floor plan that allows you to flow from one room to the next. Our children always had friends visiting and sleeping over. They could occupy the Lower/ground level of our home and we would never hear them. We also enjoy just walking around the property and looking at the beautiful landscaping and nature. The brook which borders the property is very soothing, especially after a good rainfall. Our home is a very inviting place to visit. We strive to make our guests comfortable. We try to address any special needs you may have. The beautiful outdoor spaces, (patios deck etc), beautiful landscaping, and available property at your disposal, enhances your vacation experience. We are in an excellent location that enables you to conveniently access ski areas, shopping and surrounding towns and cities.
