Description
Circa 1799 Vermont cape, thoughtfully restored and expanded to over 7,300 finished square feet on 12.5 private acres, minutes to Silver Lake and Woodstock village. Five bedrooms, nine baths, and a layout that balances everyday living with the ability to host. Original materials carry throughout, including wide pine floors, skim-coat plaster walls, hand-carved paneling, and period hardware, giving the house a consistent, grounded feel across old and new spaces. The 24' x 24' kitchen is designed for real use, anchored by an eight-foot Atlantic granite island and equipped with Sub-Zero, Wolf, and DCS appliances, dual Bosch dishwashers, and a walk-in pantry with tiled counters, extensive storage, half bath, and laundry. It opens to a sitting room with a wood-burning fireplace and full-height paneling. A separate wet bar includes a wine cooler, ice maker, and copper sink. Living spaces include a formal dining room, library with built-ins, study with Jøtul woodstove, a 22' sunroom with stone fireplace and custom windows, and a 34' screened porch with fir floors and painted wainscot ceiling. The bedroom layout offers flexibility and privacy, with a first-floor en-suite for guests and a primary suite with fireplace, private deck, dressing room, and bath with soaking tub and tiled shower. Two additional en-suite bedrooms, along with a large family room, office, and second laundry, are located upstairs. The grounds feature three ponds, fieldstone terraces and walkways, brick patios, perennial gardens, raised beds, and an apple orchard, along with tucked-away seating areas. Outbuildings include a heated three-bay attached garage and a separate 1,465 SF heated car barn with capacity for up to ten vehicles (four on lifts). Above, a one-bedroom apartment with full kitchen and bath is currently used as a short-term rental. Additional structures include a historic bank barn and chicken coop. 15kW whole-house generator, fiber internet, and updated systems throughout.

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWith two young kids in the school, I am very excited by the new administration and several new teachers at BA, bringing forward-thinking changes and new energy to a school that has always had a strong community connection and compassion for every student. With the new Outdoor Learning and inquiry oriented curriculum, I look forward to the opportunities my kids will engage in. The principal is first rate and knows what she's doing.Parent Review8y ago - Woodstock Senior Uhsd #4

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageIt's a really good school. I went here for 7th grade (I'm moving to Florida now). There was this 9th grader who I went to elementary school with, and all through elementary school, he terrorized me when I literally did nothing to him (you know who you are). After he recognized me when I got into this school, he started being a jerk again and would say something mean and/or stupid every time he walked by me. I went and told my counselor (the counselors there are amazing) and she made it very clear that they don't tolerate bullying and that he wasn't going to bother me. After that he bothered me one more time, but when he got told he was on serious warning of suspension, he stopped. That's the main reason for me [kind of] liking this school. They stay on top of bullying issues. Also, the staff are amazing, you don't get loaded with stress and homework. It's easy to get around and navigate, and the classes are a lot of fun. I really like how they have basically no rules at that school but you don't see kids smoking or doing graffiti or things like that. Something that wasn't so good about my time there (and know that this is really my problem, not the school's, that's why the rating is 5 stars) is the other kids. As if the [I'm not saying what he is since kids read this stuff] wasn't bad enough, most of the kids in my grade were just kind of rude. I've always been kind of socially awkward and never really had a lot of friends, and I sometimes get the feeling that other kids will have more fun if I'm not there, so I don't really talk to them unless I have to (like if we get paired together for an assignment). And obviously they don't have any reason to be rude (since I don't talk to them), but when we have to do classwork together, they're really picky about everything (if we make a poster everything HAS to be perfect) and they get all snappy if I do one thing they don't like. I did have a couple friends that were amazing, though. Sorry if this felt more like a rant about my social life; I know I didn't give a lot of helpful information, but that's just what I typed I guess. In short it's an amazing school. For the actual school, 5 stars. For my social experience, 1.5 stars.Other Review4y ago
