UNDER CONTRACT—Accepting backup offers. This charming cape, located in Berlin, is set amidst spectacular landscaping and perennial gardens nurtured over 30 years by a master gardener, filled with colors and textures and revealing a new botanical discovery around every corner. The house is set back from the road, with a driveway flanked by a beautiful stone wall. Situated on 6.5 acres and located very close to state and town forest land, the property offers trails through mixed hardwoods connecting to an extensive network of biking, hiking, and skiing trails, and leading to Berlin Pond. Located on Crosstown Road, the property truly offers the best of both worlds—a private, quiet, and peaceful rural setting located only 5-10 minutes from the grocery store, Central Vermont Medical Center, emergency services, Berlin Elementary School, and interstate access. This 4-bedroom, 2.5 bath home, custom built by its original owner, features a kitchen that opens to a cozy family room with a stunning fieldstone fireplace and hearth, hand-hewn fireplace mantle and ceiling beams all looking out to a gorgeous mix of unique trees and shrubs in a private backyard (red Japanese maple, weeping birch, silver bells, winter berry, and many more). The master bedroom suite is located on the first floor and includes a full bathroom with tiled walk-in shower and separate dressing area with four closets and an exterior door to the back yard. The west-facing formal living and dining rooms have hardwood floors and floor to ceiling windows, looking out at the expansive front yard. A large 572 square-foot bonus room above the built-in two-car garage is perfect for a rec room, home office, or additional living room. There is a small exterior door, floor to ceiling bookshelves, and a walk-in closet with additional shelving. There is attic space above this room, accessed through a bedroom on the second floor. Upstairs, there are 3 more bedrooms, each containing built-in drawers and walk-in closets. There is a linen closet and a cedar storage closet in the hallway. The full bath has a tile floor, tile tub and shower, large towel cabinet, and walk-in closet. The large full basement is perfect for a workshop and is accessed through the garage or stairs within the main house. A detached storage shed is located next to the large parking area at the top of the driveway, offering storage for your lawn mower, snow blower, and gardening tools.
