Privacy on a paved road is just the start of what there is to love about this expanded ranch home. Tucked into a wooded hillside bordering the 70-acre town forest, you’re surrounded by nature, yet only minutes from all the amenities in Newport and Derby, Lake Memphremagog and the recreation path. The current owners have made numerous updates, improving the home’s beauty, functionality and efficiency. Granite countertops, newer stainless appliances—including a Kenmore Pro gas range—tin backsplash and oak cabinetry with a full wall of pantry cabinets providing tons of storage makes the kitchen a joy to cook in. Open to the kitchen is the bright dining room. Offering 270-degree views and a post & beam ceiling, you may never want to leave the octagon room. With plenty of space for family and friends, the 28x40 great room boasts a custom-built bar, pellet stove and French doors out to a deck. A walk-in closet, full bath with shower and French doors leading out to a deck with hot tub create a true master suite. A tiled entry, additional bedroom and ½ bath with laundry area complete the main level. The walk-out lower level has potential as an in-law suite with a separate entrance, living area, 2 bedrooms, full bath and room for a kitchenette. Multiple composite decks, paver pathways, stone walls and landscaped beds frame the house. A 3-car garage under and detached, 2-car garage means there’s room for your vehicles, toys, tools and more. Start packing, this is a truly turnkey home!
