Shaped by the south winds and nestled among towering cedars, this private Lake Champlain cottage retreat is surrounded by spectacular perennial gardens and offers exceptional indoor and outdoor living. Spend your days on the water and your evenings gathered around an Autumn bonfire on the property's crescent-shaped sand and pebble beach as the sun sets over the Lake and Adirondacks. Thoughtfully renovated in 2019, this classic mid-century cottage blends timeless island charm with modern comforts. The custom kitchen features cherry cabinetry with soft-close drawers, natural stone backsplash, black stainless Samsung appliances, farmhouse apron sink, tile floors, and recessed lighting. The beautifully updated ¾ bath includes custom tile, built-in cabinetry, spacious shower with beveled glass doors, and stylish vanity. The inviting 19x13 living room is anchored by a roaring fieldstone fireplace and warm pine walls, while bamboo flooring, a Rinnai heater, on-demand hot water, and fresh exterior paint (2026) complete the extensive improvements. Multiple lakeside decks, a screened porch, family room, and newer hot tub provide endless opportunities for entertaining or simply relaxing by the water. A spacious 24x24 detached garage offers plenty of room for boats, paddle boards, bicycles, and all your island toys. A rare opportunity to enjoy the very best of Vermont lakefront living.
