492 Tucker RoadCalais, VT 05667MLS Number 4938973

Quintessential farmhouse on 12 acres on a quiet country road in the coveted community of Calais. This classic gem has seen many renovations and energy improvements over the past 20 years, such as a new roof, windows, Buderus boiler, insulation and drywall, perimeter drainage, central vac, and solar electric hot water. Its vintage charm was carefully preserved with the addition of refurbished antique radiators, antique doors, trim, and beautifully refinished wide plank wood flooring. It has a classic farmhouse flow - entering through a mudroom into a large welcoming kitchen with a central woodstove, off the kitchen is an expansive pantry which flows into a first floor laundry room and full bath. The kitchen opens to a formal dining room then out to the light filled foyer which opens to the living room and beyond that a cozy family room with a second wood stove. The second floor is expansive with three bedrooms and a 3/4 bathroom off the central staircase. Beyond the third bedroom is access into the main primary bedroom and bathroom suite, a large office, finished storage room and a unique aviary, all accessed by a second stairway off the kitchen. The front porch looks out onto beautiful property perfectly set up and well suited for homesteading with a barn and hay loft, run-in sheds, a greenhouse, chicken coop, sugar house, woodshed and a pond. In the spring and summer the landscape is abundant, bursting with colorful perennial flowers, apple, pear and plum trees and berries.
