Nestled on over two peaceful acres just outside Bristol Village, this classic cape offers a beautiful blend of traditional character and country privacy. The owners have lovingly maintained and refreshed the property, giving it a timeless and clean feel, along with the excellent peace of mind that comes from a newer roof. Located within a short drive of downtown shops and restaurants, this property also offers an effortless, straightforward commute to both Middlebury and Vergennes. Step inside to find a warm layout with distinct, designated rooms that preserve the home's classic New England charm. The main level features a spacious yet cozy living room centered around a beautiful brick fireplace, creating an inviting focal point for gathering. From there, you move into the formal dining area, which sits adjacent to a freshly painted kitchen equipped with a breakfast bar with seating for four stools. Off the kitchen, back door leads out to a back deck that is ideally set up for grilling and outdoor dining. A neat and convenient half bathroom completes the first floor. Upstairs, the second level hosts all three comfortable bedrooms alongside a central full bathroom featuring a classic tiled floor. The living space extends down into the lower level, where a partially finished basement offers a great, separate setup for game nights and extra recreation, while also housing the laundry area. The outdoor amenities are a true highlight of the property. The sprawling, two-plus-acre lot is beautifully landscaped with mature perennials and open lawn space. Car and hobby enthusiasts will love the detached two-car garage, which includes a partially finished bonus space above. This upper level stands ready as a blank canvas, perfectly suited for a private art studio, quiet home office, or workshop. Combining a traditional Vermont layout with everyday convenience, this beautiful country home is a fantastic find.
