7 Lilliesville RoadStockbridge, VT 05772Price: $635,000

Handcrafted by a second-generation local log home builder, this impeccably maintained 3-bedroom Stockbridge log home is an authentic Vermont retreat with an unexpectedly sophisticated side. Built in 1993, the beautifully preserved logs and chinking remain like new, while thoughtful updates and distinctive dcor create a wonderful balance of traditional cabin character and modern comfort. Inside, vaulted ceilings, warm pine walls and ceilings, and striking hardwood floors with intricate inlay detail set the tone. A handsome red Vermont Castings woodstove anchors the living room, while colorful lighting, fixtures and furnishings add a playful, contemporary counterpoint. The well-designed kitchen is equally at home preparing a family feast or entertaining friends, with custom cherry cabinetry, gleaming granite, stainless appliances, a hammered copper sink and designer fixtures. A convenient mudroom entry, first-floor laundry and minisplit heat pumps add everyday ease. The attached two-car garage provides another surprise: an expansive unfinished bonus room above, already framed and insulated with vaulted ceilings. A remarkable wall of built-ins surrounds a dramatic arched window sitting area overlooking the woodlands, while a covered deck takes in views of Lilliesville Brook and the neighboring equestrian farm. Envision a family room, studio, guest quarters or luxurious primary suite. Outside, the Vermont lifestyle unfolds naturally, from the covered porch and landscaped lawn to the firepit, hammock and brookside setting. River Road invites leisurely walks and bike rides, while the nearby White River offers fly fishing, swimming and quiet places to simply enjoy the view. With Killington and Pico, Woodstock, and I-89 all within easy reach, this special property is offered fully furnished and equipped, making it an exceptional year-round home or mountain getaway.
