A little over two years ago, we started a complete renovation of this lakeside home to do better justice to its gorgeous lakeside setting. First we gutted the interior and stripped the house right down to the studs. Then we replaced and rebuilt everything using the newest state-of-the-art materials and systems available.
No expense was spared in its design and construction to make this the most modern and comfortable house in the North Country. You can relax in one of the two living rooms and prepare your meals in one of the two kitchens, either on the main level or on the lake level. There are even two sets of washer/dryers, one for each floor. The result? This may be most luxurious and most meticulously furnished vacation home on Lake Champlain.
The Setting:
Our property sits right on Lake Champlain with breathtaking views of the Vermont mountains. The house itself is set 300 feet back from a quiet dead end street. The property slopes down to the beach, which is remarkably like a pool: the lake bottom here consists of large flat plates of stone that make it easy to just walk right into the lake in summer. In the winter, when the lake is frozen, you can ski right out for the best cross country skiing imaginable.
The Living Rooms:
The vaulted living area on the main level is an open plan, with plenty of room for entertaining. You'll marvel at the 14 foot vaulted ceiling and french doors overlooking the lake. We've just installed a 42 inch Plasma TV with DirecTV for those nights when you just want to relax. There is a thermostatically controlled gas fireplace on each level; no need to haul firewood! The second living area on the lake level also has its own gas fireplace, and a fully restored and tuned Kroeger baby grand piano.
The Kitchens:
The main level kitchen is the envy of any gourmet chef: The refrigerator/freezer, convection oven, dishwasher and range-top are all stainless steel Kitchen Aid Architect Series. The 33-bottle wine cooler is GE Profile. The stackable Washer/Dryer is top-of-the-line Frigidaire. The second kitchen on the lake level is a full kitchen with a dining area and all new appliances, including separate Washer/Dryer.
The 4 Master Bedrooms:
Each of the four bedrooms is a master suite, with its own in-suite private bathroom; no one has to get dressed to get to their own bathroom. Two of the bedrooms have queen beds, one has an oversized full bed and the fourth bedroom has two twins that can be converted to a king.
Our home has a mooring just fifty feet from the shore, and the town boat ramp is just a half-mile north of the house. The City of Plattsburgh is 5 miles up the road and you can drive to downtown Montreal in exactly 1 hour. Whiteface Mountain and Lake Placid are also an hour away. Whether you're here spring, summer, fall or winter, you will be close to everything you might want to do; from swimming to skiing, from kayaking to snowmobiling.
In short, your stay at "Lakeside Dream" will be a memorable experience. But don't take our word for it. Just click on "View comments from previous guests" immediately below. |
