Located in Charlotte just 14 miles from Burlington, this light-filled Contemporary perfectly complements its serene wooded setting. Sited on a private, level 7.83 acre parcel, this year-round turnkey residence was built in 1975 and then extensively expanded and improved in 2004. The well-designed interior uses wide doorways and vaulted ceilings to create a contemporary comfortable flow from room to room and the generous use of windows and skylights bring in loads of natural light. The first level includes a formal living room with stone fireplace and ash floors, a formal dining room open to the chef’s kitchen with a sunny eat-in area, a sunken family room and a mudroom with access to the attached 2 car garage. A large deck provides additional outside areas for entertaining or relaxing. The second level features his and her offices, a large master suite and 2 additional bedrooms. A whole house fan keeps temperatures comfortable in warmer months. The mostly finished walkout basement offers plenty of storage, a newer exercise room and a potential wine cellar. The well-maintained grounds surrounding the residence are a wonderful combination of lawn, old growth woods and vegetable and flower gardens. Charlotte is known for its excellent schools and sense of community. The town beach is just down the road for everything nearby Lake Champlain has to offer.
