A quietly private enclave, only two owners have cared for 51 Gordon Drive since it was built in 1995. Ideally located approximately 5 miles from both downtown Northfield and Montpelier, the location offers exceptional convenience to Norwich University, Central VT Medical Center, and the U32 school district, with school bus service right at the end of the driveway. Set on nearly one acre of open, light-filled land, this 3-bedroom, 2-full-bath strikes the perfect balance between comfort, functionality, and location. A generous sized mudroom and attached 2-car garage make daily living easy, while the bright, functional kitchen flows naturally into an open dining area, creating a natural gathering space for meals or entertaining. Kick up your feet in the comfortably sized living room or take advantage of the partially finished lower level with walkout access - ideal for a home office, game room, or exercise room. Three bedrooms round out the second level including a spacious bonus room off the primary that could serve as an office, nursery, dressing room, or private fitness space. With a full bath on each level, busy mornings are a breeze. Outside enjoy a morning coffee or tea on the covered porch and later gather around a backyard fire for an evening under the stars. Mature plantings surround the home including rugosa roses, blackberries, rhododendrons, and hostas, while the sunny lot offers ample space for a sizeable vegetable garden. This home awaits its third owner and with your paint brush, color palette and eye, you can make it all yours.
