Surrounded by nature yet close to town, you’ll love this cozy secluded escape in the NEK! Looking for an oasis away from the city, yet close to all the Northern Ski resorts & mountains to explore? Look no further than this Hardwick home, built in 2019! Step inside to an open first level, with natural wood giving the feel of a cabin. The open living room features bright windows and leads directly into a true chef’s kitchen. The kitchen features two full-sized ranges, stainless steel appliances, and an extra-large island with a wood countertop and seating for four. Tucked off the kitchen is a stacking washer and dryer, hidden behind a sliding barn door. An open staircase divides the main floor, with a spacious 3/4 bath rounding out this level. Upstairs, the half story offers two bedrooms, each with natural light and more natural woodwork. Outside, enjoy your 14+ acres, adjacent to woodlands and nearby the Lamoille River but high in elevation. The acreage is divided over 2 lots: Lot 1 contains the home, and Lot 2 has a wastewater permit for 4 beds, plus a water line and power meter, giving you options to expand and build however you'd like! A long driveway that climbs in elevation offers privacy and distance from the road & river. This charming home is perfect for anyone seeking a smaller footprint or a nature-filled getaway. Less than a mile to Hardwick’s Main Street, enjoy being close to town amenities but steps from all the green space Vermont has to offer.
