About This Home

Stunning sunrises & Green Mountain views from this beautifully remodeled, one-bedroom lakefront home with 2015-built guest house. Main house features an open floor plan designed to maximize incredible lake views with decks extending right out to the water. Inside, vaulted pine ceilings create a spacious & airy feel throughout the main level. The kitchen & bathroom have been thoughtfully renovated, & several walls were removed to capture the full southeast exposure. Well-designed kitchen with a breakfast bar island, stainless steel appliances, custom lighting, & plenty of storage. The living, dining, & den areas surround a re-built original stone fireplace, while wide-plank wood floors run throughout. The home was re-built on a new concrete foundation, allowing for a walk-out lower level with a cozy family room & woodstove - perfect for cooler days. The bedroom offers spectacular lake views & direct access to the deck, ideal for enjoying warm summer nights. The guest house offers a kitchenette, full bath, & spacious upper-level family room or sleeping area, plus laundry & storage space, all connected to a small fenced yard.
