Welcome to The Harrell Residence on Lake Champlain, A Legacy Property on 220' of Pristine Waterfront. Some homes are simply lived in. Others are loved for generations. The Harrell Residence is the latter: a stately home & lakefront property that has remained in the same family for decades, now ready to welcome its next stewards to a rare & remarkable chapter of Lake Champlain living. Set on 1.3 private acres with 220' of frontage and a private sand beach, the home commands unobstructed views of the historic Bluff Point Lighthouse & the revitalized Valcour Island Marina, a vista that shifts from sunrise sails to golden evening stillness & never grows old. A soaring foyer with polished marble floors & a Schonbek crystal chandelier sets the tone, joined by a sweeping curved staircase & character-rich detail throughout. Walls of windows anchor both the living & family rooms, keeping the lake ever-present, with a wet bar between them for effortless entertaining. The family room centers on a wood-burning fireplace, a warm counterpoint to all that glass & light. The chef's kitchen & casual dining area flow into a screened gazebo, perfect for morning coffee, casual meals or evenings beneath the trees. A hallway to the two-car garage tucks in a pantry, laundry, coat closet & full bath, the ideal drop zone after a day on the water. Upstairs, the primary suite is the true showstopper: sweeping lake views on waking, a private sitting area, a large en-suite bath & a generous walk-in closet make it nearly impossible to leave. The second bedroom, ideal as a media room or office, boasts its own fireplace, a rare comfort in a secondary bedroom, while the third looks out through mature pines to an open field. The expansive basement offers room for storage or a home gym; the possibilities are endless. Outside, a stone terrace leads to the lakeside lawn & private sandy beach. This is lakefront living at its finest, every detail crafted for a life well-lived on the water.
