About this home

Tucked away on 5.9 private acres in the heart of Williston, this exceptional property offers a rare blend of timeless charm, unmatched privacy, and exciting future potential, just minutes from schools, shopping, dining, and I-89. Set at the end of a quiet dead-end road, mature trees, manicured landscaping, walking trails, vibrant gardens, an inviting pergola, and a sparkling in-ground pool create the perfect backdrop for peaceful mornings, gatherings, and unforgettable summer evenings. Spanning more than 3,700 square feet, this classic Colonial has been lovingly maintained with rich natural woodwork, two gas fireplaces, generous living spaces, and abundant natural light, creating an inviting atmosphere throughout. The spacious kitchen flows effortlessly into the dining and living rooms, while a dedicated first-floor office provides ideal work-from-home space. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite features a walk-in closet, en-suite ¾ bath, and an enclosed porch overlooking the backyard. Three additional bedrooms and a full bath complete the second floor, while the unfinished basement offers abundant storage. Improvements include new carpeting throughout (2026), fresh interior paint in select rooms, freshly painted exterior (2023), landscape design by Charlie Proutt of Distinctive Landscaping, and major system servicing (see documents). Outside, an oversized attached 2-car garage is complemented by an impressive detached barn/workshop, perfect for hobbies, equipment, vehicles, or extra storage. Nearly six private acres in one of Chittenden County's most desirable communities is remarkable on its own, but this property offers even more. With road frontage on Palmer Court, the property presents exciting subdivision potential, while the remaining acreage may offer additional development opportunities, subject to municipal approvals. Whether you're seeking an exceptional private estate, a legacy property, or long-term investment potential, this is a truly rare offering.
