Wait until you arrive at the end of the winding driveway and experience the breathtaking panoramic views of Lake Champlain and the Adirondack Mountains. Nestled on coveted Barney Point in Colchester, this beautifully restored, architect-designed 1920 lakefront cottage offers timeless character, privacy, rolling lawns, and unforgettable sunsets. Lovingly cared for by its current owners, the property has been thoughtfully preserved to honor its rich history while enhancing its comfort and livability. Accommodating up to 14 guests, the home has enjoyed a successful history as a sought-after VRBO vacation rental. With appropriate permitting, there is also the potential to convert this remarkable seasonal retreat into a year-round residence. A woodland path meanders to the level shared beach, where excellent swimming, boating, and endless summer days await. At the heart of the home is an extraordinary great room designed for gathering, dining, and entertaining. Soaring 23-foot ceilings, vintage architectural details, built-in daybeds, and cozy reading nooks create a warm, nostalgic atmosphere that celebrates the cottage's original character. The kitchen offers good work areas, breakfast bar seating, and a walk-in pantry, while a first-floor den provides flexible sleeping accommodations for those seeking single-level living. The stunning primary suite is a thoughtfully designed addition featuring a private lakeside balcony. Connected to the original cottage by a charming cedar-railed bridge, it blends with the historic home while providing a luxurious retreat. The second level also includes a fun, large bunk room with tall ceilings and skylights, and a charming third bedroom. The home features Pella windows and doors, mini-split heat pumps for efficient heating and cooling, composite cedar-inspired siding, a new roof, and low-maintenance systems. Throughout the home, vintage character, modern comforts, and timeless craftsmanship create a one-of-a-kind Vermont retreat.
