Get Happy Home.com - Homes For Sale By Owner

This family-friendly home is in a desirable school district in Marlboro, one of the loveliest towns in southern Vermont. With 5 bedrooms and 3 baths, a family would have plenty of room for overnight guests.

The house is a large 28' X 56' frame hillside cape with a wrap-around deck. The stained clapboard siding and woodsy 10.1 acres seem to be made for each other. The poured concrete dry walkout basement is partially finished with a 2-car garage, laundry, and 300-amp service. The coal-fired hot-water baseboard heat with 2 zones keeps the house at an even temperature. Marvin thermopane windows and 4 skylights help let the sunlight in and the weather out.

The first floor features 3 bedrooms, kitchen/diningroom and den. Second floor has 2 large bedrooms, kneewall attic storage, large landing, and 3/4 bath. The house has clear 4-inch natural pine trim, lots of tongue and groove wood paneling, and 6-panel wood doors throughout. It has a drilled well with very tasty water and a 1500-gallon septic tank and leach field.

Hiking, biking, and cross country skiing or snowshoeing are right outside your door. Bike just 3 miles to the town beach at South Pond, a treasure nestled southeast of Marlboro Town Center that is peaceful and serene as no motorized conveyances are permitted on the water. Just 2.5 south of your front door is Marlboro College and Marlboro Music Festival. Hop in your car and take a 20-minute drive to Lake Whitingham or downtown Brattleboro. Just 30 minutes north will get you to Mt. Snow and Haystack ski resorts for winter skiing or mountain biking trails.
