​

Award-winning design meets thoughtful sustainability in this beautifully custom-crafted Vermont home. Built in 2002 and winner of a Vermont Green Building Award (VGBN, 2024), this 3-bedroom + office, 1.5-bath residence offers approx. 2400 square feet of comfortable, healthy living on a 0.56-acre lot. Carefully maintained and updated, the home blends natural materials, energy efficiency, and timeless design in a peaceful landscape setting.

 

A Home Designed for Comfort and Sustainability

The house was built with durability and environmental responsibility in mind. A standing seam metal roof and stained wood siding provide classic Vermont character, while modern upgrades make the home fully fossil-fuel free. Heating is provided by an air-to-water heat pump with in-floor radiant heat on the main level and European panel radiators upstairs that provide dialed-in room-by-room control and comfort. This is complemented by a cozy modern wood stove. A high-efficiency Zehnder energy recovery ventilator (ERV) with MERV 13 filtration delivers fresh outdoor air continuously to the bedrooms for exceptional indoor air quality.

 

Additional upgrades include a heat pump water heater, ENERGY STAR appliances, warm LED lighting throughout, and low-emitting, locally sourced finishes used in nearly all renovations. For those interested in being a net zero household, the option exists to transfer our shares in approx. 10.5 kW of a community solar array.

​

Warm Natural Materials Throughout

The interior balances modern design with natural Vermont materials. Polished concrete floors anchor the main level, while wide-plank pine floors bring warmth to the upper level. The meditation loft features Vermont maple flooring, and the full bathroom is finished in local slate with programmable underfloor heat. Five newly replaced European triple-pane skylights bring abundant natural light into the home.

 

Custom cabinetry enhances both the living room and the main-floor office, which also features a Murphy bed for flexible guest space. US-made Rocky Mountain Hardware door handles and high-quality fixtures are installed throughout the house, along with tasteful lighting and custom window coverings.

 

A Beautifully Updated Kitchen

The kitchen was fully refreshed in 2025 with new appliances, including a refrigerator, induction double oven with five-burner cooktop, and dishwasher. A deep farmhouse sink with a Sonoma Forge faucet pairs with quartz and butcher block countertops, including a dedicated baker’s counter. The kitchen island provides comfortable seating and is a natural gathering space for everyday living and entertaining.

 

Comfortable Bedrooms and Bath

The home includes three bedrooms, two with soaring cathedral ceilings. The primary bedroom includes a peaceful meditation loft and access to generous walk-in attic storage.

 

Upstairs you’ll find a beautifully designed bathroom with a Victoria + Albert double-ended soaker tub, custom shower, and a custom concrete countertop. A convenient upstairs heat pump washer-dryer combination adds to the home’s thoughtful functionality.

 

A Remarkable Landscape

Originally landscaped by master gardeners, the property is both beautiful and productive. The yard includes two bluestone patios, a rock garden, and a timber-frame patio structure built from local hemlock. Partially wooded and partially open, the land includes restored clay plain forest and connects directly to shared green space behind the home.

 

The landscape has been carefully “foodscaped,” with guidance from well-known Vermont gardening experts. More than two dozen edible plantings include elderberry, aronia, haskap berries, persimmon, currants, gooseberries, Saskatoon berries, blueberries, beach plum, pawpaw, strawberries, hardy kiwi, rhubarb, cherries, hazelnuts, and more. A thriving seasonal wild ramp population grows on the property, with potential for morel mushrooms in spring.

 

From hundreds of daffodils and tulips and forsythia in spring to pollinator species in summer and autumn, right through to witch hazel in early winter, something is almost always in bloom. Bird lovers will appreciate the extraordinary wildlife presence—hummingbirds and many other species regularly visit the yard.

 

Outdoor Features and Storage

The property includes a spacious shed with electricity, two lofts for storage, and a Level 2 EV charger. There is also a two-and-a-half-cord wood storage structure topped with a green roof. The backyard opens to shared community green space with a treehouse and easy access to outdoor recreation.
