With inspiring views from nearly every room, this architect-designed chalet is the perfect VT getaway and the very essence of mountaintop living. The well-designed mudroom with slate floors, generous closet space, built-in wood bench and shelving makes a lovely entry and keeps clutter under control. The mudroom leads to the main gathering space - an open living, dining and kitchen area, with a classic fieldstone fireplace, rustic timberframe mantel, handsome wide pine floors and three sets of sliding glass doors offering magnificent southwest views of the Green Mountains. Looking out from the living room or from the expansive wrap-around deck, you're practically in the forest canopy - like living in a tree house but protected from the elements and with all the conveniences of modern living. The lower level includes a generous master bedroom suite and guest bedroom, each offering equally impressive views. Imagine waking up in the morning and opening your eyes to ground fog in the valleys, or watching weather roll in the from the distant mountains until you're enveloped in the cloud itself. Located on a private road and surrounded by nature, there is little traffic and few neighbors, so you can enjoy the uninterrupted quiet and solitude in this unique and special home in all the seasons of the year.
