About This Home

As of July 2025

Experience the best of lakefront living in this beautifully renovated contemporary home with nearly 100 feet of direct frontage on Lake Champlain. Nestled on 1.51 acres in desirable South Hero, this property offers stunning views of Camel’s Hump and a gently sloping lawn that leads to a shale beach on protected Turtle Bay. A mooring located just 50 yards offshore adds convenience for boaters. Renovated by Lewis Creek Builders in 2019, the 2,740 sq. ft. home features an open and airy main living space with high ceilings, maple floors, and lakeside windows. The modern kitchen is equipped with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and elegant white cabinetry, while a wood-burning fireplace and stone hearth add warmth and character to the living area. The lakeside primary suite includes a walk-in closet and a renovated en suite bath with a step-in tile shower. Down the hall are two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom. Just off the kitchen is a mudroom, half bath, laundry room, and access to the attached two-car garage. The partially finished walkout basement offers flexibility for a den, office, or recreation room, along with ample storage. Relax and take in the views of the lake and mountains on the elevated deck. Enjoy fruit from established blueberry bushes, apple trees, and cherry trees, or plant your own garden in the spacious yard. Located just 30 minutes from Burlington, this is a rare opportunity to own a turnkey lakefront property with year-round living.
