Tucked away on 5.5 private acres along Stowe's Sterling Valley Road, this home feels like a peaceful retreat, immersed in a serene wooded setting where beautifully maintained grounds, mature trees and exceptional privacy create a true sense of seclusion and escape. Inside, almost 4,000 square feet of finished living space offers exposed beams, expansive gathering spaces and a striking stone fireplace anchoring the main living area. Sunlight pours into the open dining area from the adjoining atrium, creating a bright connection to the outdoors before leading into the large kitchen, where a massive center island and picture window over the sink frame peeks of mountain views. Off the back of the house, the expansive deck wraps around the back and side of the home and is the perfect place to relax and take in the spacious yard and surrounding acreage. Two staircases create great separation in the upstairs layout. In the original section of the home, you'll find two bedrooms, including one with a 3/4 ensuite, while a second staircase from the living room leads to the expansive primary suite with a large closet, tiled ensuite and laundry just off the bedroom. Down the hall, a large unfinished space above the garage is ready for finishing and plumbed for a future bathroom. The walkout lower level offers a family room, game or recreation area, plus a lower garage area ideal for a workshop, with an overhead door for the mower and other equipment and stairs leading up to the attached two-car garage. A separate ADU is also nearly complete with a cozy wood stove, loft sleeping space and 3/4 bathroom, offering a great option for guests, extended family or income potential once the finishing touches are complete. All of this is just a short drive from Stowe Village and Mountain Road, with dining, shopping and year-round recreation close by, offering exceptional privacy without giving up easy access to everything Stowe and the surrounding areas have to offer!
