Description
Along a quieter section of Lake Champlain, where the water feels protected and the setting is defined by peace and privacy, this property offers an exceptional lakefront experience. The landscaped grounds include mature trees, perennial gardens, a small apple orchard, expansive stonework, bluestone patios, irrigated lawns and gardens, and a lighted walkway to the water. A private dock with boat lift, Floe dock system, and deep-water mooring make the lake part of daily life. Custom-built by Red House Building with Blue Sky Architects and completed in 2016, the residence was extensively renovated in 2024 and offers approximately 6,500 square feet of living space. The main living areas are open, comfortable, and lake-oriented, with a living room centered around a contemporary gas fireplace with custom concrete mantle, a dining area with lake views, and a well-appointed kitchen with Cabico cabinetry, quartzite island, soapstone counters and backsplash, premium appliances, pantry, and wet bar. A screened porch, lakeside hot tub, and stone patio off the kitchen create inviting spaces for gathering, dining, and enjoying lake views. The first-floor primary suite opens directly to a private stone patio and is complemented by an additional main-level bedroom suite and ensuite den. The second floor includes another bedroom suite, bunk room with custom built-in beds, and workspace with built-in cabinetry, while the lower level adds a recreation room, home theater with surround sound, pool table area, playroom, and storage. A separate 1,120± square foot carriage house provides guest accommodations with lake and garden views, living room, galley kitchen, full bath, finished living space, stone patio, and radiant-heated two-car garage. Together, the main residence, carriage house, grounds, dock, and lake access create an extraordinary Lake Champlain property, designed for year-round comfort and entertaining, just 30 minutes from Burlington.
