    New composite deck
    Welcome to your own lakefront retreat on the Alburgh Passage! This charming year-round cottage offers beautiful lake views from the kitchen, living room, and new composite deck, along with a lakeside deck for an even closer view and easy access to swimming, fishing, kayaking, and boating. Enjoy stunning sunrises and a short boat ride to many area attractions and waterfront restaurants, all while being protected on the Alburgh Passage. Conveniently located near all points in North Hero and the surrounding islands. Warm and cozy, this cottage has had the foundation, insulation, and windows replaced approximately 15 years ago. Multiple heat sources provide comfort in every season, with the current owners primarily using the mini-splits for heating and cooling. Additional heat includes a gas-powered Rinnai heater, gas stove in the living room, and electric baseboard backup. Recent improvements include new composite decking and railings, lakeside deck, vinyl siding, pine ceiling in the living area, mini-splits, 200-amp electrical service, and an EV car charger. Whether you're looking for a peaceful weekend getaway, summer retreat, or year-round home, this lakefront property offers the perfect place to enjoy island living.
