About This Home
Enjoy year-round lakefront living on the shores of Lake Champlain in this thoughtfully renovated waterfront home in Highgate, Vermont. Tucked away at the end of a private dead-end road, this direct lakefront property offers 75 feet of shoreline on a manageable 0.15-acre lot, creating a peaceful setting with easy access to the water. The 1,544-square-foot cape-style home has been extensively renovated, blending modern finishes with comfortable lakeside living. Updates include new windows, floors, recessed lighting, drywall, and a water filtration system. The open floor plan is centered around expansive floor-to-ceiling windows that frame panoramic views of Lake Champlain and fill the living space with natural light. The redesigned kitchen features shaker-style cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a rustic center island that adds warmth and character. The renovated bathroom includes a tiled walk-in shower with glass walls and laundry hookups, while the first-floor bedroom offers the convenience of single-level living. Upstairs, two finished bonus rooms provide flexible space for guests, a home office, hobbies, or additional storage. Other improvements completed in 2023 include a new septic system, spray foam, vapor barrier, and sump pump. Outdoor living is designed around the waterfront. A new lakeside deck and patio create inviting spaces to relax, entertain, or enjoy an evening by the fire while taking in the spectacular sunsets. The impressive concrete seawall spans the shoreline and includes a private boat ramp, while the gradual lake bottom is ideal for a dock system. Tucked away yet just 5 minutes from Interstate 89, this Highgate property offers the convenience of year-round access while feeling worlds away from the everyday. If you've been searching for a renovated Lake Champlain home with direct waterfront access, this property is ready to enjoy. Schedule your private showing today.
