3434 west shore

If you have been looking for an affordable West facing lakefront cottage right on the water with "an honest to God" gradual sandy beach, look no further. This adorable well built Island cottage has been owned by the same family since 1954 and is being offered for sale for the first time ever. The original 1940's cottage was rebuilt in 1982 substantially renovated in 2008-2010 with quality touches such as Marvin windows and patio slider doors, Anderson 4000 storm doors with full glass for unobstructed views, as well as full length screens for great airflow. The roof was replaced as well with top line 35 year architectural shingles. Although the Town lists the property as a 1 bedroom the seller's have always used it as a 2 bedroom cottage and there is room to create a loft as well. The interior is wide open with vaulted ceilings, a galley kitchen, combo living and dining area with double sliding doors that take you out to a big 10 x 21 Lakefront deck. The 3/4 bath was recently renovated with new fixtures and vinyl flooring. The property also benefits from a 50 x 132 ft parking area opposite the property on West Shore Rd for boats, guests, or a camper. You are going to love this quiet location at the South end of the Island with its beautiful sandy beach and some of the most inspiring sunsets in all the Champlain Islands. Don't forget the mashmallows!
