225 Merrill Hill RoadStowe, VT 05672Sale Price: $1,220,000

Large glass windows in the first floor bedroom look out on mountain tops giving context to the setting moon in the morning and the starlite sky at night. The living room and dining/kitchen areas also have large windows, plus sliding doors and a balcony. This home has been designed in the Japanese philosophy of landscapes flowing from the outside in, creating a harmonic feel between the two worlds. Specimen trees are planted so your eye gently rests on them as you walk around the house. A lily pond with spring irises and a small waterfall is surrounded by stones and plantings, allowing the pond to become a natural feature of the property. But this property is not all about the Zen landscaping; the home also features a great chefs kitchen, as well as a sitting area by the fireplace with large windows that showcase views of Camel's Hump and Mt. Hunger. Another living area just off to the side is perfect for a TV room. Upstairs find two bedrooms and bathroom - all with views - and a full walkout basement with a wine cellar. Over the two-car garage is a large area for guests or an office space. A screened-in gazebo in the garden is the perfect place for an afternoon nap or relax with lunch and a book on the porch at the house. Located in an area of Stowe convenient to Waterbury, Stowe Village, hiking trails, horseback riding, cross country skiing and walking. Not to be missed!
