About this home
Just what you have been looking for! Situated on 1.64 acres, a short stroll to your deeded lake access, this beautiful country log home is a lovely year-round cape, but would also be great as a wonderful Vermont summer or winter getaway. Large windows are on all sides of the kitchen/living/dining areas and bedrooms and with great views of the lake. The expansive kitchen has granite and Corian counters with plenty of cabinets and room for prepping and baking. Look out at the lawns and lake from your dining room. Warm up by the toasty pellet stove after ice fishing, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, or Nordic skiing your day away in the winter or cool off with a boat ride or swim in the lake in the summer. The walk-out basement is partially finished and you can gather in the lower level family room for fun and games or putter around in the attached greenhouse. On 4 combined lots with a boathouse/craft house and 2 car garage. Enjoy year round living in your log home overlooking one of Vermont's most beautiful lakes. Exit out the front door onto a spacious covered porch, great for relaxing, enjoying the view with a good book or for entertaining friends and family. This home and grounds are designed to accommodate family and friends; whether fishing in the lake, playing in the yard, relaxing on the porch or roasting marshmallows by the fire pit. This wonderful home was well constructed and has been carefully maintained over the years.
