266 East Shore North Grand Isle, Vermont 05458 MLS# 5082838

Just north of Burlington, where the Champlain Islands open up and the lake stretches toward Jay Peak, this ten-acre estate known as Heartland offers just under 400 feet of Lake Champlain waterfront and a home that has been reimagined from the inside out. The exterior announces itself. Dark charcoal cedar shingle, standing seam metal roof, multiple gabled dormers, twin red doors, and twin sets of stacked fieldstone pillars marking the entry to a tree-lined private drive. The setting is elevated above the water with a flat lawn descending to the shoreline and views that reach northeast toward Jay Peak. The dock goes in every spring. Inside, six bedrooms and five-plus baths are spread across four levels. The main level opens through a slate-tiled mudroom into a living room with a gas fireplace and built-in bookshelves, then continues into a fully transformed kitchen. High-gloss cabinetry, floor-to-ceiling graphic stone backsplash, Z-Line professional range, Bosch dishwasher, and a corner banquette wrapped in windows. A breakfast room with water views on three sides and a formal dining room with a second gas fireplace complete the main level. Then there is the signature surprise, a hidden den over the garage accessed through a concealed staircase - vaulted ceilings, recessed lighting, and its own mini-split. The room guests talk about on the drive home. The second floor branches into two private wings. The guest wing offers two bedrooms, two baths, and an office. The primary suite has three walls of lake-facing windows, a walk-in closet, and an en suite bath with a clawfoot tub, black-and-white tile, and walk-in shower. The third floor adds a loft and a cottage-style bedroom with painted beadboard and hardwood floors. Everything is in place for the next chapter. Life doesn't get much better than Heartland. Lake Champlain at your door, Burlington 35 minutes, Montreal just under two hours.
