3517 Duck Pond Road

Enter the world of a 19th Century farmhouse in Vermont's coveted Northeast Kingdom, enhanced with modern comforts such as a new roof, well, solar panels, and fresh paint. The wraparound porch offers views of the surrounding acres with ample room for raised beds and berry plantings. A sunny mudroom leads into the modern kitchen and long downstairs hallway. The formal dining room sports one of four historic Rumford fireplaces, and the spacious living room has windows allowing for natural light. A first floor Primary Bedroom sits en-suite a large redesigned bathroom with a new tile shower and washer-dryer. The upper level includes a bedroom with a walk-in closet as well as direct access to a full bathroom, and two other rooms with built-in bookshelves and a view of the property's gardens. The art studio is drenched with light from dormer windows and features a gas stove and sink with running water. The grounds outside attest to the rich history of the farm: a restored original granary, a shed, and a working landmark barn. Less than three hours from Boston, the rural village of Waterford provides access to skiing at Burke Mountain and swimming in the Connecticut River as well as an escape from the hustle and bustle of metropolitan areas. St Johnsbury is only six miles away, this property being only twenty minutes from an arts center, eclectic restaurants, three bookstores, wonderful shops, as well as the famous bike trail that extends across the state for year-round recreation.
