280 Fontaine Road, Derby, VT 05829

Nestled on 10.37 mostly wooded acres in the countryside, you’ll find this 1,418-square-foot, 3-bedroom home. Inside, the current owners have made many updates, including the installation of new laminate and vinyl flooring, updating the kitchen cabinets and counters, and opening up the wall between the eat-in kitchen and living room to make a more open floor plan. A large bonus room on the first floor features a 6’ slider that provides direct access to the large side yard and would make a great playroom or art/craft studio, or you could make this your primary bedroom, and use one of the others for an office. Finishing this floor is a full bath with double sinks and washer/dryer. The 3 bedrooms are upstairs, along with a space where you could create a cozy reading nook. With the wrap-around deck, you can create areas for barbecuing, outdoor dining, and just relaxing. You’ll enjoy hours exploring the trails that run throughout the property, and whether you like to spend time on the water fishing, paddling, or swimming, there are multiple lakes and ponds nearby. In winter, you won’t have to go far to connect to the VAST snowmobile trail system. All this is just minutes from 2 country stores, and you’ll find more shopping and dining options within a 15 to 20-minute drive to the Newport/Derby area. For those who love the rural lifestyle, this property could be the one you’ve been waiting for.
