Set on 2.05 acres along a private road in Lincoln, this 3-bedroom, 2-full-bath contemporary-style home pairs distinctive design with a functional layout. At the heart of the home is a light-filled living room, where a vaulted ceiling and floor-to-ceiling windows frame the surrounding countryside. Maple hardwood floors run throughout, while a soapstone wood stove provides a cozy focal point and enough heat to warm much of the home. The eat-in kitchen opens directly onto the deck and features stainless-steel appliances, added upper cabinetry, and a newer hood fan. A bedroom, full bathroom, and laundry on the main level offer flexibility for guests, an office, or single-level living, with two additional bedrooms and a second full bath upstairs. Recent updates include maple hardwood flooring and maple stair treads upstairs, along with wire balusters that complement the home's contemporary style. Generous storage includes a walk-in closet, double bedroom closets, and more than 900 square feet in the basement for storage, a workshop, or potential future finished space. A new propane furnace was installed in December 2025, with additional improvements including a newer dryer and regraded driveway. Wall vents help circulate warmth from the wood stove upstairs. Outside, a covered front porch overlooks the gently sloping yard, while the spacious rear deck offers countryside views and evening sunsets. The property also includes a fenced area for pets, fire pit, woodshed, and attached one-car garage. Double-pane windows and doors, owned solar panels, whole-house battery backup through GMP, and a Nest smart thermostat add to the home's energy-conscious features. Lincoln's swimming holes, the Lincoln General Store, and Mount Abraham are nearby, with Middlebury, Vergennes, and several ski areas within roughly a 30-minute drive. Tucked into the countryside yet convenient to everyday destinations and year-round recreation, this home offers a balance of privacy and accessibility.
