Tucked away on a private two-acre lot in the heart of the Green Mountains and within the Burr & Burton Academy school district, this modern farmhouse offers a peaceful setting minutes from downtown Manchester and adjacent to Manchester Country Club. The main level features an open-concept layout with a beautifully designed kitchen at its center - rich dark cabinetry, Caesarstone quartz countertops, heated tile floors, stainless steel appliances, exterior venting exhaust hood, and a large peninsula with seating for three. A sunny breakfast nook with oversized windows adds a casual dining space, while the living and dining areas flow easily for everyday living or entertaining. A first-floor bedroom and full bath provide flexibility for guests, a home office, or single-level living. Upstairs, the spacious primary bedroom with custom walk-in closet shares a full bath with the second bedroom. The partially finished basement provides versatile flex space, ideal for a home gym, playroom, or hobbies. Three porches extend living outdoors: a covered front porch with extensive lighting options for the right vibe, a partially enclosed cooking porch with gas hookup, and an open rear porch perfect for enjoying the natural surroundings. With heat pumps throughout (including the basement), energy-efficient windows, and thoughtful upgrades, this home is ready for its next chapter.
