The Thistle at Mountain Stream - To be built by Mountain Stream at Quechee Lakes, the Thistle offers 3,120 square feet of contemporary living across two levels, paired with a single-bay tuck-under garage, separate heated storage with optional rec-room conversion, and a detached two-car garage. A long, low silhouette under a sweeping shed roof, vertical board-and-batten siding, and a dramatic central chimney give the home a distinctly modern presence - clean architectural lines softened by the surrounding forest. The main level centers on a vaulted great room combining kitchen, dining, and living under cathedral ceilings, anchored by a fireplace and opening through expansive Marvin glass to a long deck. Two main-floor bedrooms each enjoy private full baths, joined by a mudroom and powder room. The walkout lower level adds a family room, an additional bedroom and an office (or optional fourth bedroom) with private full baths, plus laundry and mechanical rooms - exceptional flexibility for family, guests, and four-season Vermont living. Interior finishes are uncompromising throughout: hand-applied skim-coat plaster walls for a refined, seamless finish; wide-plank white oak floors; custom tilework in the kitchen and all bathrooms; natural stone countertops on every kitchen surface and vanity; and thoughtful, high-quality millwork in every single room. Built to perform as beautifully as it lives, the Thistle features high-efficiency construction with R-30 wall insulation and R-60 in the cap, delivering year-round comfort and meaningful energy savings. Located within Quechee Lakes, owners enjoy access to two championship golf courses, an alpine ski hill, tennis, pickleball, and paddle facilities, lake and river recreation, and an extensive year-round trail network. Mountain Stream represents a new chapter at Quechee Lakes - architecturally considered homes built by a developer committed to craft, performance, and longevity. This Is The Place.
