Summary:
Up on a hill, far from the road, this stunning home sleeps 18 guests in 6 spacious bedrooms in three distinct wings for added privacy! Features a heated in-ground pool (seasonal), hot tub, eight person sauna, and large patio with two grills. The open floor plan of the downstairs common area comfortably accommodates a full house with a chef’s kitchen, dining area, two distinct living room areas, and a spectacular view of Catamount and surrounding mountains along the south side of the house.
The Space:
With six bedrooms and five baths, this home sleeps eighteen -- and even at capacity, you will not feel crowded. French doors spanning the south side of the house flood the Great Room with light and invite fully indoor-outdoor living, connecting the modern, airy downstairs with the large stone patio, featuring two grills and outdoor dining space. Relax in the above-ground jacuzzi while enjoying views of the mountains, then cross the patio and step down granite stairs to the private, in-ground, heated pool partially shaded by towering trees and surrounded by a garden featuring plants specially chosen to attract butterflies and hummingbirds.
Around the side of the house is a new outdoor shower and cozy hammock.
The gourmet kitchen is great for casual meals, but with a six burner Bertazzoni Gas stove (with griddle and two ovens) it is stocked well enough for even the most ambitious chef to wow the crowd with an elaborate home-cooked meal. Marble counters surround a farm table/island making it ideal for fun, group dinner preparation. The dining area has a fourteen-seat dining table; but meals are also comfortably hosted on the outdoor patio. Enjoy the indoor/outdoor ping pong table and then unwind in the custom eight-person Sauna.
Find seclusion in any of the six bedrooms, located well away from the action in three separate wings. Down one long hallway are two bedrooms - one with a king bed, and another giant bedroom with a king bed, trundle bed, desk, and huge bathroom. Off in another wing, down another hallway (past the sauna and large laundry room with two sets of Washer Dryers) is the third downstairs bedroom which houses a king bed and bunk beds. This room features access to its own private backyard facing a lush forest. All three downstairs bedrooms have en suite baths.
Upstairs are three bedrooms, one oversized with a king bed, day-bed, and en suite bathroom with heated floors. The other two upstairs bedrooms are cozy and comfortable, and share a large bathroom, also with heated floors.
This family getaway has been lovingly decorated with original art, colorful textiles, and a charming, tasteful aesthetic.
It has a long driveway with two parking circles (each circle can accommodate three cars comfortably). Multiple cars can be parked along the side of the driveway.
