About this home

Enjoy comfortable, luxurious living and spectacular Lake Champlain sunsets in this custom executive home with private, deeded, access to one of the most beautiful sandy beaches on Lake Champlain shared only with 16 homes. This exquisite home has been thoughtfully enhanced by its original owners with numerous upgrades including a carefully designed addition, creating a tasteful blend of style, comfort, and functionality. This inviting step-down family room features tray ceilings and a sand-hued stone fireplace flanked by elegant built-in bookcases; ideal gathering space for family and friends. The kitchen has been tastefully updated with granite countertops, stone backsplash, newer drop sink and hardware, and newer appliances. The kitchen eat-in area features a large center island with seating, a charming window nook and glass door access to an impressive Trex deck completed in 2024. Outdoor living comes naturally here, whether dining with family and friends or relaxing with a good read. The spacious primary ensuite offers an upgraded retreat with a spa bath, handsomly tiled shower and double sink. Additional bathrooms have been recently refreshed with new shower, tile, cabinetry, and lighting. A major comfort upgrade came in 2022 with the installation of a full central air-conditioning system. A newer roof, furnace and full-house generator provide added efficiency and peace of mind. This summer new carpeting was installed throughout the second floor and brand new flooring in office and foyer were installed. Interior and exterior received a fresh, professionally applied coat of paint. Beyond the property, Colchester offers an exceptional outdoor lifestyle, with a network of walking and biking trails ranging from an iconic causeway over the water to peaceful nature preserves. Four primary marinas along the protected waters of Malletts Bay provide easy access to Lake Champlain. A lifestyle to treasure where home meets the Lake! OPEN HOUSE Sun. 10/3 from 1-3p.m.
