Set on 23 private acres with sweeping Green Mountain views, this contemporary residence by acclaimed architect Jeff Barnes is thoughtfully composed to engage its landscape at every turn. Walls of glass, soaring ceilings, exposed timber trusses, and stone fireplaces bring scale and warmth to the interiors, while broad windows draw in light and long views from nearly every principal room. Particularly noteworthy is the custom woodwork found throughout the house, from richly figured cabinetry and built-ins to warm wood window surrounds and graceful curved details that lend the home an uncommon sense of finish and refinement. The kitchen is both generous and inviting, with a substantial island, granite counters, panoramic views, and extensive custom cabinetry, and it opens easily to the dining and living rooms, a wet bar, an expansive deck, and a screened porch overlooking the pond and waterfall. A first-floor office or study with built-in bookshelves and a custom wooden desk provides a tailored workspace. Privately situated above the main living level, the primary suite includes a fireplace, sitting area, bath retreat, and far-reaching views. The lower level offers a spacious family room with fireplace and three guest bedrooms, while additional space above the garage is well suited to recreation, fitness, or studio use. Rarely does a house combine architectural pedigree, craftsmanship, and such a compelling Vermont setting with this degree of ease and livability.
