About this property
5 + Bdrm Home Minutes to Downtown Burlington and UVM Campus
This 5+ bedroom home offers spectacular lake views and sunsets over Lake Champlain - minutes to everything by car or bike! Close to UVM and centrally located between Burlington, Shelburne and Charlotte, its Spear Street South Burlington location is perfect for alumni weekends, weddings and reunions with friends and family. The house offers bright rooms to gather, but is large enough to allow private office spaces to work and porches to relax with a good book.
Spear Street is minutes to popular wedding venues including Shelburne Farms and the Old Lantern Inn, a quick trip to Burlington breweries, and just a few miles to the lake. You can enjoy day trips to Stowe, explore the Lake Champlain Islands, take in all of Burlington area's shopping and dining or simply stay put enjoying this happy home.
Front and back stone patios with a wooden fire pit and barbecue grill offer everything you may need for stay at home evening activities. The front porch off of the master suite offers a gas fireplace for additional comfort on cool nights and a cozy ambiance while enjoying the many gorgeous sunsets over the lake. The backyard looks like a professional soccer field with a perfectly flat surface for playing kickball, soccer, lacrosse, flying kites and other fun family activities.
The spacious family, kitchen and dining area is absolutely beautiful for entertaining in and out of the house which provides an open flow from front to back patios.
Every bedroom has breathtaking views of the lake with three of the five bedrooms offering full private bathrooms. Two bedrooms share a hallway bathroom with the family room that converts into a bedroom with a comfy pull out couch. This is the "+" bedroom that could be called the 6th bedroom! Every bedroom has full linens, pillows and blankets plus Air Conditioning for your sleeping comfort
A large family hot tub is located off the family room overlooking the large private back yard for soaking your tired bones after a full day of activities. As a one level home, grandparents and those with sore knees will never have to navigate steep stairways in this house! You will absolutely love it with family and friends. You will enjoy this amazing home away from home experience just outside of Burlington, VT...The Queen City!
