32 Dewing Road, Franklin, VT 05457

Breathe easy and slow down at your home away from home on Lake Carmi. Mornings begin with calm water and the sound of loons in the distance. Coffee on the porch, a light breeze coming off of the lake, and a full day ahead that can be as active or as quiet as you want it to be. This three bedroom, two bath seasonal home is designed to take full advantage of its lakefront setting. The main level opens toward the lake with expansive views south through double sliding glass doors, filling the living space with natural light. Exposed live edge beams bring the wilderness of Vermont inside as you gather after a day outside. The screened-in porch will become your go-to space for summer living. Extend your mornings, enjoy long dinners, or unwind at the end of the day watching the sunset dance across the settling waves. Three comfortable bedrooms are located on the second floor along with a half bath. Plentiful windows allow you to take in lake views and cool night breezes. Outside, a private concrete dock puts you right on the water for boating, swimming, and fishing, with 7.5 miles of shoreline to paddle and explore. The property sits on owned land, a meaningful distinction on Lake Carmi where leased lots are common and add long-term uncertainty. The lake is home to a significant peat bog that draws in wildlife and creates a unique natural landscape, and the birdwatching here is some of the best you will find in Northern Vermont. For anglers, Lake Carmi is well known for its fishing, with walleye, northern pike, and bass all part of the experience right off your dock or a short boat ride away. The property has operated as a successful short term rental in the recent past, offering flexibility for those considering a mix of personal use and income potential. If you have been looking for a place where summer stretches a little longer and lake life feels easy and approachable, this is your opportunity to be part of one of Franklin County’s most loved waterfront communities.
