Charming Home in Idyllic Otter Creek Setting in Weybridge



Classic Vermont Federal in a stunning millpond setting on the banks of the Otter Creek in Weybridge, near Middlebury. Launch your canoe right from the backyard, bike and walk the country roads, or just sit on the deck and watch the ducks, eagles, osprey, herons, beaver and otters from your chair. All this natural and architectural beauty is located in an excellent school district only a few  minutes' drive from the Middlebury College campus. Spacious and comfortable for couples or families.

The gracious 1831 brick mill owner's house blends modern conveniences with historical patina. The updated kitchen has handmade Vermont maple cabinets and a breakfast nook fashioned from an old Vermont diner booth--all open to a cozy keeping room with wood-burning fireplace and comfy couch and chairs. A pantry and laundry room are on an adjacent hallway leading to a large living room with a more formal dining area. The original house features 3-4 spacious bedrooms and a newly-renovated bathroom with two sinks, a linen closet and an air jet tub with shower. A more recent clapboard addition provides a roomy mudroom, along with a spacious ground floor room with a full bath, walk-in closet and a wall of glass looking over the beautiful Creek view. Use this for a master bedroom suite or a lovely family room with sofa bed for guests. Relax on the deck overlooking the water and perennial gardens. A three-bay red barn/garage provides ample storage.

The house is for rent July 15, 2017-July 15, 2018, with dates somewhat negotiable. Monthly rent is $2000 + utilities. No smokers. Well-behaved pets welcome. The house is being rented furnished.
