1534 Brownell Road - Property Description

Set on the upper ridge of Brownell Road at 2,100 feet above sea level, this 36-acre property is one most people can only dream about — a freshly renovated modern chalet with views that stop you mid-sentence. This home has been taken down to its bones and rebuilt entirely, roof to foundation, inside and out, so what you're getting is the feel of new construction wrapped around a setting that couldn't be recreated at any price: layer upon layer of mountains rolling off into the distance. There's even a poet's cabin tucked in the woods — once you've seen it, you may never want to leave.

Begin at the Deck

Some properties have a statement room. This one has an entire statement house — but it's the wraparound deck that sets the stage for a living experience as majestic as it is soothing. The deck begins with full coverage at the kitchen side of the home, with a door and steps down to the meadow. As you turn and walk out into the open air, it carries you the entire length of the home, framing the mountains from every angle — the kind of view that turns a five-minute coffee break into the best hour of your day. All newly built with low-maintenance Trex decking and railings.

The Room With a View

The great room's gable end juts out over the view like the bow of a ship, and the deck below echoes that same shape, pointing straight out into a 12-mile vista of layered ridgelines beyond.

This is the heart of the home. A cathedral ceiling and wall of windows frame the mountain vista, with a large slider opening onto the deck. Two sets of windows, set into that ship's-bow gable, look out over the deck and the view beyond. A stone-tiled fireplace anchors the end of the room with grace and a touch of class — a new electric insert set into a reclaimed wood hearth.

Open to the great room, the all-new kitchen is designed around the view, with a perfectly placed window above the sink. Subway-tile backsplash gives it a clean, modern look, as does the edgeless black sink beneath that window. Outfitted entirely in black ZLINE appliances — range with a raised vent hood, microwave, dishwasher, and a bottom-drawer freezer/refrigerator combo — this kitchen is welcoming at any hour. A central island, set beneath a reclaimed barnwood ceiling detail, provides a natural gathering space and includes its own built-in ZLINE microwave.

The dedicated dining area is capped by a bay window set that extends the view straight through to holiday dinners. To the left of the basement stairwell door is a generous walk-in pantry, already fitted with three tiers of shelving.

A Primary Suite That Takes the Whole Second Floor

The central stairs climb to a small Juliet terrace overlooking the great room below and lead into the primary suite: an oversized bedroom with a new fan-light fixture, a walk-in closet with its own window, and a switch just outside the door so you never step into the dark.

The ensuite bathroom is a showpiece in its own right — a glass-enclosed walk-in shower with black fixtures, hexagonal floor tile, and clean-lined wall tile that climbs like wainscoting. A new toilet and an edgeless dual-sink vanity with black fixtures sit beneath four lights over the mirrors.

As you leave the suite, twin skylights wash light across the warm tongue-and-groove pine of the cathedral ceiling below.

A Full Bath and Two Bedrooms

Toward the back of the great room, a short hallway leads to a new tiled full bathroom with black-framed sliding glass doors set around a shiny new white soaking tub. Two light-filled bedrooms complete this floor.

A Home for Everyone Under One Roof

On the garden level, a fully self-contained mother-in-law suite unfolds, featuring a stainless steel kitchen with a new electric oven, new cabinetry, and washer/dryer hookups. The suite's bathroom is entirely new — tiled floor with in-ceiling heat, a tiled walk-in shower with glass enclosure, granite-topped vanity, and a window that frames the mountains even from the shower.

This level also houses the new Payne propane furnace and air conditioning system, an 80-gallon electric water heater, and a full whole-house water treatment setup with a primary pressure tank, two reserve tanks, a dedicated filter, and the well controls — each in its own closet.

Just off the suite is a separate potting room or workshop with its own exterior door — concrete floor, concrete walls, and two windows that look out beneath the shelter of the deck above, giving you shade from the sun but still that same sweeping view. It's hard to imagine a more satisfying place to get your hands dirty. And finally, a dual-bay garage — new automatic openers, new doors, and an epoxy-coated gray floor finished with the same care you've seen throughout the house — rounds out this level.

Built New, From the Ground Up

Outside, vertical vinyl siding gives the lower level a tongue-and-groove look, topped by traditional vinyl clapboard above, framed in black windows with black-and-white trim. New roof. New chimney work. A completely rebuilt structure from the foundation up.

The Land

Thirty-six acres rise from the lawn up to a wooded hilltop, laced with trails through a mature pine forest. Down through the woods, a small three-to-four-season cabin with electric, heat, and a composting toilet sits alongside a reading shed — a quiet retreat of its own, tucked into the trees a stone's throw from the house.
