Just listed in Waitsfield, VT.

Set just off the village green in Waitsfield Common, this authentic Ky Koitzsch post-and-beam home is a standout example of Vermont craftsmanship, character, and thoughtful design.

Built by Brothers Building Co. and filled with natural light, the home features windows on every side, including dramatic loft-level windows that frame sweeping views of Sugarbush and Mad River Glen. Wide pine floors, warm wood paneling, and a gas faux wood stove create an inviting atmosphere that feels distinctly Vermont.

The open-concept living space is complemented by a vaulted loft, while the main-level primary bedroom offers everyday convenience. Two additional bedrooms upstairs provide comfortable accommodations for family and guests.

Step outside onto the spacious sunset deck and take in mountain views and evening light, or enjoy the large backyard complete with a fenced garden, generous outbuilding, and room to add a garage or barn.

Recent updates, including a standing seam roof and solar panels, help keep energy costs low while enhancing the home's long-term value.

Just minutes from the Mad River Valley's renowned outdoor recreation and within easy reach of Sugarbush, Mad River Glen, Stowe, and Burlington, this property offers the perfect balance of village living and mountain adventure.

Machias, Maine and Campobello

We woke to bright sunlight, according to the forecast the only day of sun our whole trip, but we can dream. Off to find the "new French" bakery on a country road, far from the center of town.
