Just over 2 miles from the heart of Woodstock village, this gracious brick cape sits on six open acres. Designed to accommodate a Vermont lifestyle, this home welcomes you, whatever the season. The chef's kitchen has been expanded with a spacious entertaining room, and the grand dining room is ideal for hosting. A wood-burning fireplace in the main living room, a brick fireplace in the family room, and a gas-ready fireplace in the den make this home cozy during Vermont's cooler seasons. With 3-4 bedrooms on the second floor (one with fireplace), and an additional bedroom/office above the garage, 1522 Barnard Road offers plenty to a growing family and is a perfect retreat for guests. The surrounding grounds present an uncommon opportunity to own usable acreage in quick proximity to Woodstock. A covered porch for grilling, an entertainment patio, an inground pool with heat hookup, a garden space, an apiary, and a fenced chicken coop make summers at this home idyllic. Dogs can run free with over 5 acres of invisible fencing. Adjacent to the site of the country's first ski tow, winter offers fantastic snowshoeing opportunities and easy access to Saskadena 6. With quick access to I-89 and the Upper Valley beyond, this Woodstock home lends itself to both primary and second-home ownership. An increasing rarity in our market, this home is uniquely positioned to enjoy elbowroom and a more rural landscape, all just minutes from New England's quintessential village.
