315 Parker Hill RD Springfield, VT 05156

This carefully restored 1831 brick federal on 163+/- acres, with 5 bedrooms and 4 baths, strikes a rare and delicate balance between authenticity and comfort that so many buyers seek but cannot find in pursuit of a Vermont lifestyle. The house is sited on a ridge overlooking the lightly traveled Parker Hill Road, such that a line of sight from the house virtually eliminates the road, as it views the fields and mountains to the East. Warm and charming rooms, are defined by antique natural-wood flooring, plaster over lathe walls, high ceilings and seven wood-burning fireplaces including a newly-built Rumford in the remodeled kitchen. Open flow throughout with space for family and entertaining including a new 4-season sunroom with slate floor and cathedral ceiling, dining room, and an enlarged living room with two fireplaces. A sitting room adjacent to a full bathroom can double as a first-floor bedroom. An indoor Endless swimming pool is between the mudroom and 3-bay garage. Upstairs are 4 bedrooms including an en-suite master, and a second ¾ bathroom. Outbuildings include an original barn re-purposed as an office-guest house with fieldstone fireplace, studio bunk house, and new post & beam barn. Rolling meadows flanked by old stonewalls and a pond, give way to tall red pines and northern woodlands beyond. An old woods road, winding through a magnificent stand of maples ideal for sugaring, provides easy access to the top of Pudding Hill.
