About This Home

Set high within Williston’s desirable Oak Hill Estates, this exceptional 6-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom home offers panoramic Lake Champlain and Adirondack Mountain views, resort-style outdoor living, and one of the neighborhood’s most usable lots. Situated on 1.92 acres, the home was designed to embrace its elevated setting and incredible views. The backyard is the true centerpiece. A wraparound deck extends the main living areas outdoors, while the finished walkout lower level opens to a covered stone patio. The fenced pool area features a 28,000-gallon saltwater pool with a fountain, slide, and diving board, plus a hot tub and fire pit area. Beyond the pool is a rare, flat lower lawn, ideal for recreation, gatherings, or gardening. Inside, over 7,700 square feet of finished living space provides impressive scale without sacrificing warmth. The great room features vaulted ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, stone archways, and a gas fireplace with an incredible stone surround. The chef’s kitchen boasts Viking appliances, a double wall oven, butler’s pantry, custom wet bar, and breakfast nook. A formal dining room, library/music room, and first-floor bedroom with attached full bathroom add flexibility. Upstairs, the primary suite is a private retreat with panoramic views, a private balcony, custom walk-in closet, steam shower, and Jacuzzi tub. Three additional bedrooms offer generous closets and ensuite bathroom access, while a laundry room and finished sunlit attic studio add versatility. The walkout lower level includes a rec room, kitchenette, theater, exercise room, sixth bedroom, full bathroom with laundry, fireplace, and walls of glass doors leading to the patio and backyard. Additional highlights include a heated three-car garage with an extra utility bay, central air, extensive storage, and access to Williston’s amenities and I-89 in less than five minutes. A truly special property where remarkable views, outdoor living, and rare usable acreage come together.
