Idyllic renovated 1900 Vermont Schoolhouse (#39312)

Morristown, Vermont
 

Description of the Morristown vacation cottage rental

Three-bedroom, 2 full baths, eat-in kitchen, dining room, living room,laundry,and porch on 4 acres.


Retreat to the warmth, comfort,and special beauty of my 3-bedroom newly renovated schoolhouse. Large windows throughout the house admit great quantities of sunlight and glorious views. Ground floor is loft-style, each area opening onto the next. The country kitchen is very spacious and equipped with new appliances, a large center island for food preparation, and a large eating area.
The kitchen opens directly onto the dining room area, with a farmer's table that sits 8 comfortably, a sideboard and chest. Just beyond the dining room area is a charming living room with a new plasma tv and dvd player. The furnishings are almost entirely antique. There is also a full bathroom with a large walk-in shower.
On the second floor there are three bedrooms, two of which have skylights facing the Mount Mansfield range to the west. There is also a study with a large work table, internet connection, and bookshelves. The master bedroom just beyond the study has a hand-crafted armoire and a small gas stove that provide plenty of warmth on cold days. There is also a second full bathroom with a fine old claw-foot tub as well as a separate laundry room with a new washer and dryer.

In winter, ski (x-country or downhill), snowboard, snowshoe, or stay indoors to read, write, and sip hot chocolate; in spring and summer, swim, hike, bike, or bask on the spacious lawns surrounding the house; in fall, explore the foliage, farmers' markets, and fine food at local restaurants in nearby towns. The schoolhouse offers a glorious retreat from hectic city life.

Located on 4.5 acres in Wolcott with superb 360-degree views of farmlands, woodlands, meadows, and the Mount Mansfield range nearby. Vermont is home to organic farmers, artists, artisans, and all people who yearn for time away from hectic city life.

Area Description

The schoolhouse is located in Vermont's spectacular Northeast Kingdom. A short drive brings you to Stowe (25 minutes), Montpelier, St. Johnsbury, or Burlington (45-60 minutes). A 6-hour drive from Manhattan,one hour and fifteen minutes from the Burlington International Airport, and 2 1/2 hours from Montreal.

Owner Supplied Testimonials
"We had a WONDERFUL time at the schoolhouse. It is a jewel! Your photos, which told me a lot, did not even do it justice. What a lovely, well-appointed, well managed, well planned, well loved place. It was immaculate, too, which always pleases me. Thank you so much for sharing your place!" Phoebe
It was a joy to stay at the Schoolhouse. From the moment we walked through the front door until the moment we left, we felt we had been transported to another world! While we walked through the house, the children found the loft space to play in. Light poured through every window; the views were glorious. There was always something to do, and 'doing nothing' was also a pleasure. I'd heartily recommend the Schoolhouse to everyone wanting a real get-away.
