About This Home

Discover year-round lakeside living with this inviting 3-bedroom, 2-bath home on the shore of Spectacle Pond in the town of Brighton. Built in 2002, this home offers over 1,500 square feet of comfortable living space, with plenty of room for relaxing and entertaining. On the main level, you’ll find a spacious living room and a large, fully equipped eat-in kitchen—both offering stunning views of the pond. Tucked off the main living area is a cozy den that exudes a lodge feel, with knotty pine walls and ceiling and a wood-burning fireplace set in a floor-to-ceiling stone surround. A convenient 3⁄4 bath completes this floor. The entire top level is dedicated to the primary suite, featuring a full bath and a balcony that provides the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee while taking in tranquil water views. Two additional bedrooms are located in the walk-out basement, offering easy access to 138 feet of sandy beach and the like-new 33-foot-long FLOE dock—ideal for swimming, boating, fishing, or simply soaking up the peaceful setting. An attached 2-bay garage, an outbuilding perfect for storing watercraft and outdoor gear, and a woodshed complete the property. Set on a 0.31-acre lot along a private road with direct VAST trail access, this home comes mostly furnished, combining convenience with the natural beauty of Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom. Whether you’re seeking a year-round residence or a four-season retreat, this waterfront home is ready to help you make lasting memories.
