Nestled among the woods of Pittsfield's coveted Townsend Brook area, this beautifully maintained and thoughtfully updated chalet captures the essence of the quintessential Vermont mountain getaway. Designed in the tradition of a European alpine chalet, the main living level occupies the second floor, maximizing natural light and creating a warm, inviting space for aprs-ski gatherings or quiet evenings by the fire. Recent improvements include an upper-level bump-out with a charming reading nook and convenient powder room, beautiful maple hardwood floors, modern lighting and ceiling fans, and beautifully remodeled bathrooms. An enclosed former storage shed has been transformed into a generous mudroom and first-floor laundry, complete with a wall of built-in cabinetry for skis, bikes, boots, and outdoor gear. A spacious wraparound deck extends the living space outdoors, offering both sunny and shaded spots for morning coffee, al fresco dining, or gathering with friends. Surrounded by the Green Mountains, miles of mountain biking and snowmobile trails are practically at your doorstep, while world-class skiing at Killington and Pico is just minutes away. With easy access from Montreal, Boston, and New York City, this turnkey retreat offers an appealing combination of comfort, recreation, and value - equally suited to weekend escapes, investment income, or year-round living.
