Modern, warm, spacious, intimate. This custom Waterbury Center home somehow pulls off all four. Thoughtful and intentional, with an organic Vermont feel, it was designed around something you notice immediately: a connection to the outdoors. Windows are everywhere, perfectly placed to pull in sunlight and frame the views. Inside almost feels like outside, and the layout keeps inviting you there. Morning coffee on the sprawling covered porch. Long summer nights on the screened porch you may never want to leave. A private deck off the primary suite when you want the view all to yourself. Inside, the details feel equally considered. The mudroom brings custom built-ins and slate floors, with an adjacent three-quarter bath and bedroom offering direct outdoor access. The kitchen pairs soapstone counters and cherry cabinetry with a massive island and storage for days. It flows into the living room, where custom built-ins and a wood stove bring warmth, then straight out to that screened porch. This is a house that knows how to gather. Upstairs, the primary suite is its own retreat with two walk-in closets, a soaking tub, rain shower, and private deck. Two additional bedrooms with views share a dedicated bath, and yes, the laundry is right where it should be, on the sleeping floor. Three finished floors mean plenty of room to spread out without losing that intimate feel. The third floor is the ultimate flex space, pun absolutely intended. Office, studio, gym, hangout, creative headquarters? Your call. Still want more? The full unfinished walk-out basement is ready for whatever comes next, already plumbed for a future bathroom with an additional washer and dryer hookup. The possibilities keep going: a permit is in place for a future one-bedroom ADU above the oversized garage. Private without feeling remote. Convenient without giving up the Vermont experience. Thoughtful without trying too hard. This is a home that feels good to be in, easy to live in, and very hard to leave.
