Welcome home to your quintessential Vermont property that once operated as a schoolhouse. Former school names include the Ovitt School, Branch Brook School, Bakersfield Schoolhouse #12, and Elm Tree Schoolhouse. It has since been expanded while maintaining historical touches, and has so much to offer. The setting...Sugar maple, ash, white birch, wild apple, pine and pin cherry trees set the stage along with lilacs, blackberries, raspberries, and the winding babbling Branch Brook to enjoy strolls along and fishing in. Tap the 50+/- sugar maples and make syrup on your Leader "Half-Pint" evaporator in your cozy sugar house. A 24'x32' two-story Carriage shed offers wonderful space for the hobbyist. There's also a 12'x16' garden shed and 2 cord storage woodshed. Stepping inside the home, you're able to continue to feel the beauty of this setting with the large schoolhouse style windows that line the open concept kitchen/dining area with wood flooring and vaulted ceiling. Custom and rare locally sourced butternut cabinetry and maple butcher block island counter. The main floor also features an office/study, large living room, bedroom, full bath, laundry/utility room, and mudroom. Two additional bedrooms and bath upstairs. Enjoy barbecues on your large stone patio while enjoying the sounds of nature or cozying up inside next to the wood stove or gas fireplace during the fall and winter months. Nearby to snowmobile, cross country skiing/hiking trails, Jay Peak and Smugglers' Notch.
