This Spear Street home is all about the views. Western-facing and filled with windows, it enjoys year-round views of Lake Champlain, the Adirondacks, and unforgettable sunsets from nearly every room. The layout offers a thoughtful blend of traditional design and modern updates with five spacious bedrooms that allow for flexibility in how people live today. The second-floor primary suite feels private and quiet, with a generous bath and built-in storage. Two additional bedrooms on the same level share a bath. A first-floor bedroom with an adjacent bathroom works well for guests or single-level living. The fifth bedroom is on the lower level and includes its own private bath, ideal for extended stays, a home office, or an au pair-style suite. Hardwood floors, a back staircase, dedicated office area, and breakfast nook add warmth and function throughout the home. The updated kitchen, completed by Peregrine, is both practical and inviting and connects easily to the main living areas. A screened-in porch offers a front-row seat to sunsets, and the large in-ground hot tub allows for year-round enjoyment. The flow of the home works equally well for everyday living and hosting, with multiple gathering spaces, easy indoor-outdoor connection, and room for guests to spread out. Casual mornings in the breakfast nook, afternoons working from home, and evenings on the screened porch or outdoors all feel natural here. Set on over three acres with established gardens, the property offers a rare sense of depth and openness. Unlike many Spear Street properties, the views extend beyond the immediate landscape, creating a garden setting that feels expansive and private. A three-car garage and generous mudroom support everyday Vermont living. Conveniently located close to schools, UVM, and the medical center, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy space, views, and proximity in one home. Homes like this seldom come to market.
