Escape to this luxurious gambrel-style home with picturesque mountain views, nestled on over 10 acres in Essex! Through the knotty alder front door, you'll immediately be greeted with warm details like the custom oak staircase that leads you into the stunning great room with douglas fir ceiling and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the breathtaking views of Mt. Mansfield! The chef's kitchen boasts handcrafted cherry cabinets and a pantry that features a second fully-equipped kitchen! Through the sliding glass doors, you'll find the screened-in porch, which is the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee while watching the sunrise over the mountains. In a separate wing off the living area are two nicely-sized bedrooms, a shared full bathroom and a wooden ladder that leads up to the cool loft space. On the uppermost level, you'll enjoy an expansive primary suite with sitting area, private balcony and spa-like ensuite with tiled shower and soaking tub. The adjoining closet includes laundry hook-ups to easily add another laundry room. The lower level offers a cozy den with stone fireplace, office/flex space, the laundry room and a guest bedroom with 3/4 ensuite. There is certainly no shortage of storage and garage space with this home! Along with the attached two-car garage with hot and cold water spigots, there are three additional outbuildings with plenty of heated shop space as well as room to park and store vehicles, equipment or whatever else your heart desires!
