Nestled on a hillside near the village of Ripton and just above the north branch of the Middlebury River, this house has great light and flow. From the requisite window over the kitchen sink to the vaulted ceiling in the living room adorned with a brick hearth and woodburning fireplace, you might just want to call this place "home". On the main living level you'll find the kitchen, dining, living, mudroom and game room. One flight up are two bedrooms and a full bath and another 1/2 flight up is another bedroom and an open loft. In the basement, which is partially finished, you can enjoy a family room, full sized laundry room and a 3/4 bathroom. Plenty of storage in the basements and in the bedrooms with additional space to kick off your boots and coats in the mudroom and hall closets. Minutes to Middlebury College's Rikert Ski Touring center and the Snowbowl as well as tons of hiking trails including access to the Long Trail. Ripton is a lovely community with a seasonal Coffee House on Saturday nights, outdoor events such as the Ripton Ridge Run and with a population around 600 you can really get to know your neighbors. Route 125 is a paved road that is well-maintained road throughout the year. The icing on the cake is the Ripton General Store...it's a throwback in time and they have just about anything you need! Whether you're a skier, nature lover, bird watcher or you just want a slice of solitude - this can be your place. Check out the Virtual Tour link!
