About this home
RARE opportunity! Welcome to WaterStone on the shores of Lake Champlain. Enjoy the historic grace of a legacy lake cottage, built in 1884, freshly and exquisitely renovated and restored in 2018-19 to provide all the modern comforts and amenities to make this your dream getaway. With breathtaking westerly sunset views of the high peaks of the Adirondacks, WaterStone is the oldest property on Mile Point, just a short stroll from the famous resort, the Basin Harbor Club. Featuring floor-to-ceiling insulated windows and doors to take in the unparalleled lake views, the light and airy Scandinavian-inspired interiors were designed to showcase the natural beauty that surrounds this special property. All-new kitchen, bath, septic system, insulation, standing-seam roof, and outdoor shower; tasteful landscaping including rock walls and stone walkways accent the property’s mature oak, hickory, and cedar trees. The new heat exchange system allows you to enjoy being cozy in the colder months while comfortably air conditioned on balmy summer days. Watch the sunsets over the lake from the open covered porch, bring your cocktails down to the brand new ipe hardwood dock, enjoy an al fresco meal on the screened porch, looking out over the water. Next up is the conversion of the carriage house to an accessory guest house, with plans and drawings already approved and builders available. Property is available furnished if desired. Only once in a blue moon does an opportunity like this come along.

Coveted Lake Champlain location, community spirit, and history! Charming circa 1880's Victorian seasonal cottage with carriage barn and 117 feet of lake frontage in sheltered bay on Mile Point. Enjoy western views of Split Rock Mountain Wild Forest just one mile across the bay, seven layers of Adirondack mountains/terrain, and spectacular sunsets. Ledge lakefront warms in the sun for sunbathing; bay has sandy bottom ideal for swimming and mooring. The quaint cottage features a large, bright kitchen leading to the living area and spacious screened porch beyond for relaxing and dining, three bedrooms and 3/4 bath, plus indoor and outdoor shower. Unique, period features include an antique zinc tub, a "widow's walk" balcony shared by the two upstairs bedrooms, and the original outhouse! Extra-large lot with mature trees, a clearing for badminton or croquet, and a two story, two-bay carriage barn for storage. Located on the Lake Champlain Bikeway and next door to Basin Harbor Club for golf, tennis, dining, kids' activities and more. Less than an hour from Burlington, half hour from Middlebury and just 5 miles to Vergennes for supplies. Passed down through one VT family since the 1880s, this legacy property is also part of a wonderful and supportive neighborhood association that shares additional common land.
