Description

This newly completed 5.2-acre waterfront estate is perched on a point with sweeping 270-degree views of Lake Champlain and the Green Mountains of Vermont. With over 800 ft of frontage, this 5,000 sqft Adirondack Lake Estate with a timber frame barn/guest house, boat mooring, and dock, you'll have complete privacy and only a 5-minute walk to town. A state-of-the-art Savant Smart home for climate control, lighting, full home sound system, as well as a built-in home theatre with a 108' screen. An expansive 1,000-sf wraparound deck provides stunning views of Lake Champlain, making it a perfect spot for outdoor entertaining or simply hot-tubbing soaking in sunrise and moonrise views. An interior flooded with natural light because of over 100 windows offers wheelchair-accessible showers, wide doorways, and radiant heat flooring. The heart of the residence is the two-story great room showcasing a double-sided fireplace and chimney built with stones from the original 1902 John Bird Burnham house. An inviting gourmet kitchen is equipped with Wolf, Sub-Zero, and Cove appliances, plus custom handmade fir cabinetry, a walk-in larder and a pantry. A sumptuous primary suite features a double-sided fireplace shared with the great room, two walk-in closets, and French doors to the wraparound deck and hot tub. Just a few steps away sits a spa-like primary bath with a clawfoot tub and stunning water and mountain views. Includes an in-law suite with two bedrooms and a private entrance. This rare combination of seclusion while nestled within a vibrant community is only 90 minutes from Montreal, 45 minutes from skiing in Lake Placid, a ferry ride to Burlington, VT, and 10 minutes from an Amtrak station going to NYC.
