Exceptional 1855 Greek Revival set in a prestigious Middlebury neighborhood, surrounded by the natural beauty of Flanders Preserve and Middlebury Land Trust land. This 5-bedroom, 31/2-bath architectural stunner is sited on 3.21 beautifully landscaped acres with mature trees, stone walls, perennial gardens and rolling open lawn, offering privacy and a feeling of escape and tranquility. The home includes wide-board floors, three fireplaces and a remarkable series of covered porches and "piazzas" capturing the romance of 19th-century country living. There is effortless flow from the gorgeous sunroom, with walls of windows, into the formal living room, dining room and large entertaining kitchen. A main-floor laundry room, enormous utility room, pantry and powder room add convenience. The primary suite offers a private retreat, with an en-suite bath and adjoining sitting room or study, flanked by two covered porches. Outside, a charming secluded wading pool with fountain provides a wonderfully relaxed setting for summer gatherings, cocktails and afternoons spent enjoying the gardens. A detached 2-car garage with bonus unfinished loft space invites a future artist studio. An exceptional opportunity to bring this distinctive home to the next level. 2 hrs to NYC. Subject to Probate.
