This chalet is ideally located toward the back of the property for privacy and an abundance of nature. Large garage spaces, blacktop driveway, lawn area, multiple decks, patio, river frontage, and a well maintained home complete this property. There is a generous amount of waterfront on the Ausable River and the property faces Forever Wild views and is a short distance to Lake Champlain. The level lot has a variety of perennials, lilacs, apple and maple trees. The interior of the home has been remodeled and updated very well, with an open floor plan and plenty of additional spaces for overflow. Many windows throughout the home offer a plenitude of natural sunlight in all rooms and a sunsetter awning for some added comfort. Sellers recently upgraded the chimney, added an exterior french drain, new pressure tank and tankless hot water heater, and new pool mechanicals. An amazing opportunity to relax and enjoy with very limited upkeep. Close proximity to Ausable Chasm, marinas on Lake Champlain, recreational trails and a quick drive to great skiing at Whiteface Mountain. Additional acreage available that is contiguous to this home and also on the MLS.
