Tucked into a peaceful wooded setting in Starksboro, just over the Hinesburg town line, this inviting Vermont home offers the privacy of country living. Here, mornings begin with coffee on the covered front porch, surrounded by the sounds of nature and evenings invite you to gather around the warmth of the wood stove after a day exploring the outdoors. Step inside to a bright, open-concept main level where the kitchen, dining and living spaces flow naturally together. Sunlight streams through an abundance of windows, highlighting the warmth and character of wide-plank wood floors. The kitchen is designed for connection, with a generous peninsula offering seating for four and a built-in raised cooktop, an easy place to prepare meals while family/friends gather nearby. The spacious living area provides plenty of room for comfortable seating and dining, while the wood stove creates a cozy focal point during Vermont's cooler seasons. The lower level is thoughtfully suited to an active Vermont lifestyle. A mudroom entry with built-in bench seating provides a practical landing place for boots, coats, skis and outdoor gear. The bedroom offers a generously sized walk-in closet and easy access to the full bath, with laundry and utility spaces conveniently located nearby. Outside, the natural setting becomes an extension of the home. Create a kitchen garden, grow your own vegetables/herbs, or simply enjoy the surrounding woods and visiting wildlife. A storage shed provides space for gardening tools and outdoor equipment, while the property's peaceful setting offers a welcome sense of seclusion. For those searching for a private home near Hinesburg, a wooded Vermont retreat, or a property with easy access to hiking, wildlife, and year-round outdoor recreation and close by to a Wildlife Management Area, this Starksboro home offers an appealing combination of location and lifestyle. A place to garden, gather, explore, and unwind; this is Vermont country living at its most peaceful.
