50 Elm Point Rd, Vergennes, VT 05491

Originally built by a VT craftsman contractor for himself, the current owners have enjoyed lakeside living in this spacious 3-bedroom home for over 20 years. Set on 2.5 acres, this gracious home offers over 3,000 sf of living space plus shared beach access to Lake Champlain. The interior of this Bow Roofed Cape has a surprisingly open floor plan with a large country kitchen with custom dining booth by the lake-facing bay windows. All appliances are stainless and a wood stove can be added to the existing brick hearth and flue. Beyond the kitchen is a more formal dining area that leads into a large, two-story living room with soaring wood-paneled ceilings, hearth, and ceiling fans. The primary bedroom, hidden behind double bifold doors, has an en suite bath with separate shower and built-in hot tub. A lovely hand crafted staircase rises from the main floor to 2 upstairs bedrooms, joined by a wrap-around balcony overlooking the living room on one side and a spectacular view of the lake on the other. Another catwalk leads to a gigantic bonus room over the garage, great for entertaining. In addition, the unfinished walkout basement with grade level windows offers more room for expansion and the oversized 2-bay garage has ample space for cars and toys. This beautiful home also shares a nearby lakeshore lot that features stairs to the shale beach and the option for a deep water mooring , or personal dock in the protected bay. This special lakeside home is a rare gem!
