Set on a former orchard just minutes from downtown Middlebury in the sought after West Cornwall Village, this custom-built Cornwall home blends Vermont character, open land, and thoughtful craftsmanship in a setting that feels both peaceful and connected. Designed and built with pride by the owner (a professional carpenter), this home was carefully created to embrace the surrounding landscape, unforgettable sunsets, and Adirondack mountain views while offering the comfort of modern systems and flexible living spaces. Mature apple trees, cedar privacy plantings, open lawn, berry patches, and neighboring conserved farmland create a beautiful natural setting with frequent wildlife sightings, and wide-open skies. Inside, farmhouse-inspired warmth meets everyday functionality (with an eat-in kitchen featuring induction cooking and Bosch appliances) and multiple flexible living and dining areas. A bright newly finished sunroom is lined with oversized windows, warmed by a new gas fireplace and enhanced by a heat pump. Just off the kitchen, the 3-season side entry with a pellet stove offers a comfortable flex space ideal for relaxing on a brisk fall day, gathering to watch football, enjoying morning coffee, or creating a practical everyday retreat. The finished lower level offers cozy lounge space with a wood stove and New Hampshire stone accents. The oversized 28x40 garage/workshop with upper storage provide exceptional space for hobbies, equipment, or future possibilities. Enjoy the best of Addison County living just minutes to downtown Middlebury, Middlebury College, dining, shopping, trails, skiing, golfing, and Lake Champlain access. A rare blend of privacy, usable land, and location.
