A calming sense of privacy welcomes you as you enter this quiet dead-end cul-de-sac in Malletts Bay, where 24 townhomes are nestled among 18.16 acres of private land. This end-unit townhome enjoys a rare natural setting, tucked against a dramatic formation of natural ledge to the rear, helping preserve the view from future development. The large side yard faces nature and offers a level of privacy uncommon for townhome living. Pride of ownership is evident throughout, including an updated powder room with storage and laminate flooring. The tiled oak kitchen faces west for afternoon light and opens to the dining room with hardwood flooring, overlooking a sunken living room with additional hardwood floors and a centerpiece gas fireplace with marble surround, serving as the primary heat source. A slider opens to a private deck surrounded by nature. Upstairs, the primary bedroom overlooks the rear yard and welcomes eastern morning light. A full basement provides laundry and extensive clean, dry storage. Two reserved parking spaces are directly in front of the unit, just outside the end-unit one-car garage. At the end of the cul-de-sac, a short walking path over private land connects to the Colchester Bike Path, offering miles of recreation and surprise westerly views of Lake Champlain and the Adirondacks.
