About this home
It's a rare opportunity when a family is ready to give up their lakefront home escape! After almost 2 decades of enjoyment this special seasonal retreat is ready for it's next stewards (the heating system & foundation allows for extended comfortable use thru the majority of the 12 months). This beautiful cottage is nestled on almost 1/2 an acre with 100' of direct, clean lake frontage. The home comes fully furnished, and has a very spacious feel due to the additional 300 SQFT enclosed porch / sunroom / bonus room that flows as part of the home's living ( & sleeping!) space, and a large shed for all your tool & toy storage needs. The current owners have done many important updates & renovations over the years to help create a modern & easy living space, including the kitchen, flooring, metal roof, vinyl siding, the replacement of the majority of windows, to name but a few. Outside enjoy the views - be it relaxing on the spacious deck or trying your hand at some gardening, your lawn then leads to steps down to your slice of prime waterfront. This is a very special close knit community with many year round residents. The location itself is hard to beat offering tranquility and the best views, yet only a short drive to Missisquoi National Wildlife Refuge, many eating / leisure options and endless amenities.
