70 Shadow LaneHinesburg, VT 05461Price: $455,000

Nestled in Hinesburg's Lake Iroquois enclave-where old summer cabins blossomed into full-time magic-this quirky year-round cottage with ***DEEDED SHARED LAKE ACCESS*** captures the spirit of endless summers, with water views that tug at your heart. Exposed beams stretch across the ceiling like a storyteller's canvas, weaving a spell of nostalgia through every thoughtful detail. The main floor hums with sunlight, offering a bedroom, a darling half-bath, and a vibe that whispers barefoot adventures. Upstairs, the primary bedroom is a treehouse fantasy-perched among the treetops, it's where you'll wake to birdsong and lake glimmers-joined by a second bedroom and a full bath for lazy mornings. The second-story screened porch is your sunset haven, fireflies flickering as the lake mirrors the sky's last glow. Sip your coffee on the sprawling deck, gazing over a lawn and gardens that burst with color like a painter's dream, or stroll to your deeded lake access for a dip in Iroquois' glassy embrace. With a metal roof and vinyl siding, this gem shrugs off upkeep, leaving you free to chase summer forever. A completely new mound septic system installed last year, so the images included of the backyard are not an accurate depiction. Instead, the fencing has been removed and the property feels wide open and is a blank canvas for the next owner's backyard visions.
