Incredibly private with deeded Lake Champlain access, this striking 5,000 sf 3-bedroom contemporary colonial is sited on a 3.5+/- acre knoll surrounded by lush gardens and offers expansive lake and Green Mountain views from almost every room. Located within the Black Willow II neighborhood and constructed in 1990 with high quality materials and a wonderful mixture of formal and informal spaces. Numerous large windows fill the home with natural light. Lake access and association dock for Black Willow II are located just a short walk down a wooded path. Enjoy cool evening gatherings around either one of the two firepits or a game of horseshoes on the lakeside lawn. There is also a hot tub just off the covered rear porch for year-round enjoyment. The 3-car attached garage is heated and leads to the mudroom with ceramic tile floor, two huge coat closets and access to the back staircase. A versatile storage shed with electricity was added in 2013. The immediate area is a boater's paradise - protected bay, kayaking beautiful backwater channels, swimming, mooring field and close to a leading full-service marina. The town of Charlotte is known for its excellent schools and sense of community and is located just 14 miles from downtown Burlington. Excellent hiking, skiing, sledding and dining are all nearby.
