About this home
Evoking images of a simpler time is this classic New Englander cottage. The cottage began its journey in the 1940s in Danbury, CT. It was shipped up to Vermont by train and Oxen powered wagons. It found its forever home on the shores of Lake Champlain on the Alburgh peninsula. From that time forward, it has been a source of pure whimsy and enjoyment for all who enter. It features three bedrooms, bathroom and living room on the second floor. The first floor features a kitchen, family/dining area and laundry room/half bath. The home is enhanced by a huge lakeside deck that gives you the feeling of being right on the water. The property boasts 119' direct lake frontage with nice beach area and gradual entry to the water. This home comes completely turnkey as furniture and docks are included! It has also become a very successful Airbnb, grossing over $30k per year. While the home has modern amenities, it retains the charm of yesteryear and is waiting for new memories to be forged for generations to come! See non-public remarks.
