Rarely does such a solidly built, meticulously maintained 5 BR, 5 BA house come on the market in Quechee! The expansive layout of this home can easily accommodate a large family or many visitors. The story of 1130 Safford Road begins with the one-of-a-kind, lush front garden that blooms with dozens and dozens of fragrant, colorful plants and flowers from spring through autumn. You may choose to enter the house through a large, perfectly functional mudroom. Or, you can enter through the more formal front entryway, where your eyes will immediately be drawn to stunning views through large picture windows that comprise the entire back wall. It’s a sight to behold. This is a quintessential Vermont property located in a private, quiet country setting that is steps away from the trailhead to the beautiful Section 5 hiking trail network. Gorgeously curated perennial gardens and statuesque trees provide a special ambiance. The large backyard, a rare find in Quechee, is perfect for kids’ play or for fruit bearing bushes and trees. The living room features a working fireplace enhanced by five large picture windows, adding warmth and a cozy feel to beautiful Vermont winters. In fact, large picture windows adorn all three floors and overlook striking views of gardens, the backyard and a lovely mountain view. A large, elegant outdoor bluestone patio off of the lower level and a large deck off of the main level provide perfect spots to dine and to view the scenery.
