742, Route 7b, Centre

This lovely Craftsman-designed one-level, 2,800 square foot home feels as though it belongs in La Cottage magazine. Built in 1982 and lovingly maintained by the same family for 32 years, this special property has been the backdrop for a lifetime of memories. Set on seven beautiful acres in Clarendon, Vermont, the property offers privacy, perennial gardens, a large spring-fed pond, and a three-car garage. The pond has been the centerpiece of countless summers, with children spending endless hours swimming, fishing, and playing from the floating dock that has provided years of fun and laughter. Inside, the home features four bedrooms and four baths, including a primary suite with a private bath, a guest bedroom, and two bedrooms connected by a charming Jack-and-Jill bath. A dedicated home office provides the perfect space for today’s lifestyle. The heart of the home is the expansive great room, where oversized windows bring the outdoors in and create a screened-porch feel during the warmer months. Oak hand-pegged flooring, a pellet stove, and a mini split system provide warmth, character, and comfort throughout the seasons. Thoughtful details and quality craftsmanship throughout reflect the timeless appeal of the Craftsman style. Step outside and you’ll discover a setting that is truly one of a kind. A gazebo overlooking the pond offers the perfect place to relax, entertain, and create your own lasting family traditions. The perennial gardens are simply stunning, reminiscent of a Martha Stewart magazine, with colorful blooms and thoughtful landscaping at every turn. The full basement features high ceilings and offers tremendous potential for additional living space, recreation areas, or storage. Rarely does a property combine such charm, character, acreage, and recreational enjoyment in one beautiful package. Centrally located between Manchester and Rutland for shopping, dining, and minutes to both Killington and Okemo ski areas. LIVE VT.
