About this property

Middlebury Gem open concept and 5 minutes from town

This home is in the heart of the town of Middlebury and within walking distance to college, downtown and grocery stores. It is perfect for just two people or a large group or family. Completely remodeled in December 2020, it has an amazing fully equipped commercial kitchen, A/C on all floors, 3 large bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a great gathering and living space and great front porch and back deck.

So many amenities are within 20 minutes of our location:
Golf - Ralph Myhre and Neshobe
Hiking - Snake Mountain and Branbury State Park
Water - Lake Dunmore (8 miles away - we also have another property right on this lake)
Skiing - Middlebury Snowbowl

We love to gather and make memories and we have designed this space to be comfortable and inviting.

Great stay in Middlebury
The house was perfect for our needs. It was an easy walk to town, bigger than what we expected, and nicely decorated and updated. We enjoyed it so much, we extended our stay by one night. I hope to stay at Home Plate again in the future.

Great spot!
We had a very comfortable stay here while we enjoyed Middleberry with our teenagers and grandparents. The house was incredibly clean, and the owner very helpful and responsive. There are great hiking trails just at the end of the street that we used to daily. Beautiful. Quick drive to downtown, and also about a 12 minute walk which was enjoyable. Two bikes too.

We are from Texas but have a student at Middlebury. We are there frequently in the spring and summer. We love the area.

Why they chose this property

This home is so convenient to the college and the town. We love walking when we are there and riding our bikes to the baseball field. We often entertain the students and it is so easy for them to get to the house.

What makes this property unique

Walking distance to everything! Comfortable and cozy. A great place to entertain. A/C and Heat Pumps just installed in May 2019!
