Grand Isle, VT 05458
Set among stately oaks and cedars on a private peninsula with 658 feet of lakeshore, with elevated views to the East and a private pebble beach on its North facing shoreline, this remarkable Lake Champlain retreat commands 270-degree views across the Inland Sea to the Green Mountains. A winding drive through mature maple and locust trees creates a sense of privacy, serenity and tranquility as you arrive at the property. Completed in 2016, the post-and-beam residence was designed to embrace its extraordinary setting. Walls of windows bring the lake and mountains into the soaring great room, where exposed timbers, reclaimed oak floors, and a granite-hearth fireplace establish a warm, sophisticated character. The beautifully appointed kitchen centers around an 8-foot island and features Thermador appliances, cherry and maple cabinetry, granite counters, coffee bar, pantry, and a farmhouse sink positioned to take in the view. The home has continued to evolve to include new landscaping with a large new 25 x 19 ft lakeside deck creating an exceptional setting for outdoor entertaining, morning coffee, or intimate gatherings. New front entry stairs enhance the access to home's wrap around deck and leads to a lakeside three-season screened porch. The main level offers a comfortable family room with Jøtul wood stove, office or fourth bedroom, and bath. Upstairs, the primary suite captures spectacular water views and includes a beautifully finished ensuite bath. Two additional bedrooms share a spacious full bath. The full walkout lower level includes a work shop and has been newly insulated and partially framed, offering an exciting opportunity to create additional living, recreation, or guest space. A detached three-car garage provides abundant storage and includes a Level 2 charger and was designed to accommodate a future ADU. A rare combination of privacy, shoreline, architecture, and possibility in one of Lake Champlain's most captivating settings.
