The home was meticulously reconstructed and enlarged in 1994 by one of the area's most respected building firms. You'll find individually controlled central air in every major room, vaulted ceilings with remote controlled ceiling fans and Hunter Douglas blinds that allow you to see out while reducing glare, UV rays and providing energy efficiency. There is a home security system and speakers that allow music throughout.

The modern kitchen and dining room are separated by a 3'6" x 11'6" island, with each area easily able to accommodate six to eight people. The 3' x 16' wall separating the kitchen and dining area provides a showcase for your finest dishes and glassware, plus a fully equipped wet bar that is just a few steps from your dining table or living room. The entire room is filled with natural light and looks out at the lake and Green Mountains of Vermont.

The living room accommodates a large home entertainment system. There is a gas fireplace for comfort or the backdrop for relaxed conversations. The room combines with a cozy sitting area that provides the optimal lake view from within the 3450± square foot home.

Entertaining will certainly not be confined to within the home. The main deck is over 600± square feet and runs about 65 feet starting from the front of the kitchen and continuing to the front of the sitting area and large master bedroom. With Westport enjoying a reputation of having very few biting insects, many hours can be enjoyed out of doors at any time of the day or night.

All four bedrooms have full private bathrooms, with the master bath both large and luxurious. The bedroom on the near side of the house enjoys a beautiful lake view. The two back bedrooms have their own private decks. The master suite has full height windows and sliding glass doors opening to the deck. There is a large cedar closet and separate linen closet.

There is much more to be discovered and enjoyed about this lakefront home, as well as the historic hamlet of Westport. There are still many elegant estates, some still owned by the families that were once the regular topic of conversation in the social columns of the New York Times near the start of the 20th century. Westport is also home to one the finest 18 hole championship golf courses in the Adirondack Park, the Westport Country Club . This is the first full season for the Adirondack Polo Club with matches most weekends throughout the summer. There is fine lakeside dining at the Bistro and the Normandie Beach Club. The The Depot Theater attracts top professional actors and directors for the best possible summer stock. Those are just a start.

If you are considering a lakefront home anywhere in the Adirondacks, you owe it to yourself to consider Grand View in Westport on Lake Champlain.
