If you've been waiting for an Island escape that doesn't need a to-do list and a bucket of money to improve...this is it. Tucked into the trees on a private 1.45-acre lot, this modern, wood-accented seasonal home is all about easy island living, with the updates already done for you. From the moment you pull in on the new driveway, you'll feel the care that's gone into this home. The exterior has been freshly painted, and new Pella windows bring in natural light. Outside there's a brand new deck with awnings - or unwind in newly added screened-in porch, an inviting space for serene mornings, candlelit evenings, and soaking in the rhythm of nature. A brand new septic system approved for 2 bedrooms adds flexibility, with potential for future year-round use, subject to buyer verification. The 1.45-acre lot offers additional space for possible expansion, subject to applicable approvals. Inside, the warm wood interior gives you that classic Vermont cottage feel, paired with thoughtful updates where it matters most. The main full bath has been refreshed, and upstairs you'll find a newly added half bath and closet connected to the primary bedroom-a rare bonus in a home of this size. A wood stove adds just the right touch of warmth for cool evenings, creating a cozy retreat after a day on the lake. Here's the lifestyle piece that truly sets it apart: just a short stroll down the road is shared access to Carry Bay, a serene, protected spot for kayaking, paddle boarding, and casting a line without battling big waves but easy access to the broad lake. Plus, you're right in the heart of North Hero, surrounded by some of the island's favorite spots, with boat launches, state parks, and endless summer fun right at your fingertips. With some furnishings included and updates already checked off, this is your chance to head right into island life - no stress, just sunsets, bonfires, and days on the water. Your summer starts here!
