Enjoy modern comforts amidst the natural world in this stunning colonial Vermont farmhouse, overlooking picturesque Lake Eden. The home is a blend of classic farmhouse charm and convenient modern living. From the 6.48kw net-metered solar array and the Tesla Powerwall battery backup, to the heat pump water heater and smart thermostats, the house is a model of energy conservation and efficiency. When the sun is shining you can watch the meter run backwards as you sell electricity back to the local utility. Work from home in comfort with high speed fiber optic internet access and a home office with windows looking out over the lake and surrounding mountains. Stunning sunsets are a regular occurrence at the end of each day. With two large lawns and the nearby lake, this inviting property offers a perfect setting to relax, gather with family and friends, enjoy nature, and take advantage of all the summer activities. The Lake Eden Recreation Area is a short walk down the hill from the house, and offers free access to Eden residents. The beach has a swim area, kid's playground, kayak storage and snack bar, as well as campsites and shelter rentals for hosting group events. The Lamoille Valley Rail Trail is nearby for world-class biking, and the Long Trail is easily accessible for hiking. If your interest lies in winter sports, Jay Peak, Smuggler's Notch and Stowe ski resorts are all in close proximity. The interior of the house is spacious with an open floor plan, ground-floor bedroom, and cozy 3-season sun porch. The kitchen has ample storage space with roomy cabinets and new laminate flooring. Each bedroom has a closet, and there is an additional walk-in closet at the top of the stairs. Built-in writing desks and bookcases adorn the upstairs bedrooms, with the south facing windows overlooking the lake. The oversized garage includes a storage loft, and the full basement has a workbench, laundry room, backup battery, and heat pump and oil-fired water heaters.
