Description
Welcome to a truly distinctive Vermont property where exceptional outdoor living meets the warmth and character of a beautifully updated country home. Set on 3 acres, this 4-bedroom, 3-bath Cape offers 2,091 square feet of finished living space and a backyard designed to be enjoyed from morning coffee through sunset gatherings. The outdoor setting is remarkable, with extensive custom stonework, expansive patios, a dramatic stone fireplace, built-in grilling station, dedicated dining area, above-ground pool and plenty of room for entertaining. Beautiful landscaping, mountain and sunset views, RV parking with electrical hookup and a circular paved drive complete an outdoor environment that would be difficult to recreate today.

The open kitchen and living areas are comfortable and inviting, while a first-floor bedroom, full bath and laundry provide flexibility for one-level living. Additional bedrooms and versatile spaces accommodate family, guests, home offices, hobbies or recreation. A walk-up attic with a separate entrance provides additional possibilities for future expansion or accessory use, subject to applicable approvals. The property also offers a two-car garage, metal roof, heat pumps and numerous updates that blend modern convenience with the home's 1860 character. With room to spread out indoors and an outdoor living space that truly sets it apart, 1984 Sheldon Road offers a combination of character, versatility and lifestyle that must be experienced in person.
