The apartment is under renovations now and tenant will benefit from new windows in the bedroom, a new heat pump washer/dryer, new kitchen cabinets and counters, and freshly painted walls throughout (note that the listing photos are pre-renovation from the previous owner and new photos will be shared once renovations are complete). The apartment spans two floors and includes one primary bedroom, one bathroom, and an open kitchen and living room on the second floor. There are two additional rooms that could be used as offices or studios, one of them could lend itself to being a small secondary bedroom or guest room. Large closets provide ample storage. The apartment is attached to the main house via a storage/studio area and thus the apartment and house living spaces do not share any walls. Mini split wall units provide heating and cooling throughout the year, there is backup baseboard heat in the winter and the apartment is on a generator so the power will never be out. The square footage is between 1,200-1,500 sq. ft. and the apartment has its own private entrance. Central walkable location within the village.
The property owners are two artists who landed in VT after years in Brooklyn. We'll be your neighbors but our house and your apartment don't share any walls. We love hiking and exploring and are happy to share tips about the area.
