Architecture as Art: This grand post-and-beam home - with 23-ft ceilings, cupola, spacious rooms, tranquil light - on 7 acres near the sweet town of So. Royalton was erected in 2007 as a commercial structure and repurposed in 2022 as an exquisite home. The Great Room/entry is the centerpiece of a coherent design, with common spaces in the west wing and three private bedrooms in the east wing. A covered porch along the front allows flow from inside to out. Light pours in from three directions all day in one expansive, open, shimmering kitchen/dining/sitting room/screened porch; pantry, media room, half bath complete the west wing. To the east: large laundry, two guest bedrooms with shared bath, and an expansive primary bedroom/ensuite bath with steam shower. A creek borders the north edge of the property. The house is a fortress of calm and light, with SIPS panels and radiant floor heat throughout house and basement. Original post and beam structure built with trees from Pomfret. Current owners crafted all interiors-from tile selection to counters to beautiful, durable hardware throughout - to meet the rich aesthetic of the posts and beams. Property hosts wildlife at the hidden pond; fire pit; raised-bed gardens & pergola. Professional landscape plan comes with house. Walking distance to Macintosh Pond; VAST trails; Vermont Law School; White River for water activities and sweetest food coop in VT in SoRo. 10 minutes from I-89.
