Set on 2.30 peaceful acres in Franklin with sweeping views of Jay Peak from the property, this tri-level home delivers the country lifestyle buyers dream about, backed by four years of thoughtful, top-to-bottom updates. Outside, a spacious brand-new composite deck and 12x16' sunroom hardtop gazebo look out over the above-ground pool, creating the ultimate summer entertaining space. Mature fruit trees and perennial gardens deliver seasonal harvests, while a chicken coop, woodshed, and expansive open lawn leave room for farming, gardening, recreation, or simply enjoying the quiet. Inside, the transformation is just as impressive. The fully gutted kitchen anchors the home with modern cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, generous counter space, and a center island. The newer wood stove brings warmth to the adjoining dining area while new heat pumps keep things cool in the warmer months, and the living room stays bright with large windows and a separated layout. New windows and doors throughout, fresh paint, updated hardware, and luxury vinyl flooring tie every space together. Upstairs, three bedrooms share a fully renovated bath. A main-level half bath adds everyday function, and the partially finished lower level offers a potential family room, rec space, home office, gym, or just more storage. Peace of mind runs deep: a new metal roof, Leafguard gutters with a 50-year transferable warranty, owned solar, heat pumps with oil heat as backup, a hybrid heat pump water heater, a Generac whole-home generator (4 to 5 days of propane capacity), a Tesla charger, a water softener, and a whole-home surge protector. Under 10 minutes to Lake Carmi State Park, less than 30 minutes to St. Albans, and roughly 50 minutes to Burlington.
