Description

A rare 4 bedroom 2.6 acre residence with 130 feet of Lake frontage on the coveted Thayer Beach Road. This property feels private with only 4 homes past it on its quiet cul-de-sac & bordered by the conserved Rosetti Natural Area. Only 6 miles to downtown Burlington yet far from the hustle. Designed for enjoying a healthy lifestyle and year-round outdoor activities. Long, sweeping lawns, an in-ground pool & your own private beach comprised of shallow clear water for swimming and water sports transform into a winter wonderland for skating, ice-fishing, and XC skiing. The home has been meticulously cared for and has potential for additional living space on the 3rd floor or to convert an in-law suite over the garage. Open spaces and natural light fill the interior. The primary bedroom has an ensuite bathroom, two walk-in closets, a separate cozy office or yoga space & boasts great sunrise views over Lake Champlain. The kitchen is open to a large family area and sun room – a perfect area for entertaining. All four bedrooms are on the second floor, yet one of those meanders away from the others giving it a natural layer of privacy – perfect for a teen or guests. Solar panels on the south facing roof cover over 90% of the electricity usage. Enjoy a backyard BBQ next to the pool which boasts a diving-board and brick patio surround. End each day in the hot tub which is aptly sitting in its own room for easy use all year long. Your retreat awaits!

    "I lived in this neighborhood as a teen and chose to move back as an adult with my own family. This street has private lake access, is on the beautiful community bike path and is walking distance to schools grades 3-12 as well as several parks. Homes were built before the boom of vinyl "McMansions" and are unique from each other. Great place to live."

    "With 89 in one direction, 7 North to the Islands and Plattsburgh in another, and Essex and Williston in yet another, this is a perfect place for someone to live away from the hustle of the Burlington area, yet still be close to almost anywhere in Northwestern VT. There are parks, libraries, schools, grocery stores, etc. within 5-10 minutes, and the lake is 10-15 away. You can't really walk to the store, but you can jog around the new walking paths that keep popping up. My wife, daughter and I have enjoyed these paths when visiting friends in the area. Our favorite part is that fact this area is right near Colchester Village (where our daughter could go to elementary school), or the factories/businesses on Susie Wilson Road (where I work) while still being across the street from a wide open farm with a view of the mountains in the backyard."

    "Perrenial gardens greet one when entering the quiet cul-de-sac of Evergreen Circle. This home is the perfect place for someone not looking at a large home but doesn't want to share walls as in a condo. Cute cottage-style homes with owners who care. Great updated kitchen. Nice hardwood floors. Comfortable master with bath and 2nd bathroom. Finished lower level with large laundry room, large recreation room and two other rooms for storage and/or guests. Easy access to town amenities, UVM and Fletcher Allen hospital. Don't miss this one."
