This single family owned property, built in 1977 with additions and full renovation in the mid-90's, has been lovingly maintained and lived in lightly over the years. Situated on a bluff, the 5000 plus square foot, 5 bedroom, 4 bath contemporary year round home, offers lots of bang for the buck. Enjoy 2 decks, 3 balconies, both a wood burning double sided fireplace and a gas fireplace, as well as a Defiant wood stove in the finished basement. With 120 feet of lakeshore on a 2.45 acre lot, the property sits above the Alburg Passage, which offers access to both the broad lake and the inland sea. Fishing, boating, sailing, swimming and hunting can all be part of your lifestyle. For the pilot, the Northern Lights Airport, a 2000' private turf airfield is right next door. The 625 acre Alburgh Dunes State Park is just down the road, waiting to be enjoyed. Cross the border and Montreal is less than hour away on a good day. New roof is just 3 years old. There is a lot to be had here...come see for yourself!
