About this home
Welcome to the Lake! Escape to the shorelines of Lake Champlain with this charming waterfront cottage offering direct lake access and stunning Westerly sunset views. Originally a seasonal camp, this property was converted to year-round use in 2006 when most of the utilities were updated. Only minutes from downtown St Albans, this property provides the perfect combination of rural charm with the convenience of town close by. Embrace the full meaning of “Lake Living” with endless boating, swimming, fishing, lounging, ice skating and more with 85’ of private waterfront. Mature flower beds and outdoor pergola makes it easy to enjoy the peaceful country setting alone or to host evenings with your friends and family. Inside you will find the newly updated kitchen, main floor radiant flooring and centrally located propane stove to keep you cozy and warm all winter long. Character runs deep through the roots of this home including rustic antique beams, custom tile and paneling and of course the cedar style vinyl siding. Come take a tour of this lakefront gem today!
