70 Shadow LaneHinesburg, VT 05461Sale Price: $375,000

Nestled in Hinesburg’s Lake Iroquois enclave-where old summer cabins blossomed into full-time magic-this quirky cottage captures the spirit of endless summers, with water views that tug at your heart and deeded shared lake access. Exposed beams stretch across the ceiling like a storyteller’s canvas, weaving a spell of nostalgia through every thoughtful detail. The main floor hums with sunlight, offering a bedroom, a darling half-bath, and a vibe that whispers barefoot adventures. Upstairs, the primary bedroom is a treehouse fantasy-perched among the treetops, where you’ll wake to birdsong and lake glimmers-joined by a second bedroom and a full bath for lazy mornings. The second-story screened porch is your sunset haven, fireflies flickering as the lake mirrors the sky’s last glow. Sip your coffee on the sprawling deck, gazing over a spacious lawn that offers plenty of room for your own backyard vision, or stroll to your deeded lake access for a dip in Iroquois’ glassy embrace. This low-maintenance gem features a metal roof and vinyl siding that shrugs off upkeep, leaving you free to chase summer forever. It has also been thoughtfully updated for peace of mind with a brand-new mound septic system, updated electrical, and a new automatic sump pump in the front basement. Other improvements include a drilled well with excellent water pressure, a complete Culligan home water filtration system, full front basement insulation, an updated furnace with recent enhancements, and a driveway drainage and runoff system. Hinesburg is Vermont magic at its finest - Lantman’s Market for fresh groceries, Hinesburgh Public House for farm-to-table bites, and Good Times Caf for the best pizza around. Just 20 minutes from Lake Champlain’s shores and 15 minutes from Williston’s shopping, plus trails, top schools, and a tight-knit vibe, it’s your gateway to a life that feels like a permanent getaway. Note: Backyard no longer has fence and there is a new mound in place.
