Description
Sunsets, sand, and four-season recreation are right outside your door at this extensively renovated Island Pond waterfront retreat. Set on three adjoining lots with a private sandy beach, this cottage has been transformed inside and out while retaining the warmth and character that make a lake house feel special. The interior was gutted and rebuilt with Rockwool wall insulation, spray foam in the ceilings, new wiring (including EV charger) and plumbing, a high-efficiency propane heating system, and central air conditioning. Tongue-and-groove pine ceilings, shadow-gap wood walls and engineered hardwood floors bring warmth and texture throughout. The main level features a brand-new kitchen with quartz counters, a new bathroom, two bedrooms, and a 316-square-foot addition offering a mudroom plus flexible living or dining space. A full staircase leads to the expanded walkout lower level with a spacious family room, new 3/4 bath, and utility room that currently doubles as a home gym. Outside, new siding, a new roof, and a covered entry porch complete the renovation. The generous lot offers ample parking, room for games and gatherings, and direct access to one of the nicest sandy beaches on Island Pond. Swim, paddle, boat, and fish from your own shoreline, then watch the sun settle over the water. Enjoy a camp fire while the night sky comes to life. When winter arrives, Island Pond is one of Vermont's premier snowmobiling destinations, with access to an extensive network of VAST trails. The pontoon boat, dock, boat lift, four kayaks, paddle boards, gym equipment, and select furnishings are available separately. A thoughtfully rebuilt seasonal lake cottage in the heart of Vermont's Northeast Kingdom.
