Manchester Vermont at its finest, this country estate home on 4.4 acres, was originally two 1820's barns of a much larger farm. Skillfully transformed by a post and beam architect into a private residence, the home has large palladian windows, a slate roof, and is crowned by double cupola skylights. The main living area has an open floor plan with living/dining great room, a high-end chef's kitchen with granite counters and top shelf appliances, a large breakfast room, and a comfortable family room.The Master suite , also on this level, is grand and lofty in scale, and there are guest rooms and baths off the center hallway. The lower level has an oversized game room with a large pine bar and kitchenette, a large office, and additional guest rooms and baths . A five-bay barn, large pond and meandering stream, lovely gardens and fruit trees, and stone walls and mountain views, complete this pastoral setting. The Manchester community is served by a Physicians Group that practice at SVMC in Manchester, SVMC in Bennington 32 minutes away and at Dartmouth Medical Center, a trauma center in Hanover NH, 55 minutes away.
