Sited on a secluded, 5-acre wooded lot in Charlotte, this custom-built contemporary is the quintessential Vermont home. Its cedar siding, standing seam roof, stone walkways, & patio exude a rustic, casual style that is most welcoming. Adding the finishing touch to the serene, wooded landscape are seasonal views of Lake Champlain & the Adirondacks! Inside this sprawling, yet relaxed, home you'll find 4 comfortable bedrooms & baths, spread out over 2 floors. At the heart of the home is an open-concept kitchen/dining room and a living room with hardwood floors and vaulted ceilings with wood beams running through the space. In the tiled kitchen & breakfast nook, solid maple cabinets & built-ins, a center island, & a long peninsula create the ideal workspace to cook for a crowd. In the living room, a wood-burning stove on a brick hearth creates a warm ambiance and a bank of windows offers views of the surrounding forest. Off the kitchen is a wonderful sunroom, framed by skylights and windows, offering views of the serene surroundings and flooding the main floor in natural light. A private stone patio runs along the back of the home, offering a shady oasis to relax in. A first-floor primary suite with full bath is the perfect private retreat at the end of a long day; a half bath and laundry round out the main floor. Upstairs are 3 additional bedrooms and another full bath, plus an 800+ sf unfinished space over the 3-car garage, offers even more possibilities for future expansion. First time on market, the owners have lovingly designed & maintained the home over the years - including solar panels installed in 2023 (owned), new boiler in 2022, standing seam roof in 2010, 2 new mini-splits, and a whole home water filtration system. The 3-car garage has ample room for all your vehicles and gear. This unique Vermont home, located in the picturesque town of Charlotte, is ready to welcome you home!
