Set on five beautiful acres in Charlotte, this architect-designed home is shaped as much by its remarkable setting and views as by its architecture. Western views stretch toward the Adirondacks, expansive windows fill the interiors with natural light, and the surrounding landscape creates an ever-changing backdrop throughout the seasons. Designed by J. Graham Goldsmith Architects, the home is distinctive while remaining homey, with spaces that feel both considered and comfortable. The main level moves easily from an ample entranceway to a sunlit breakfast nook to the kitchen, dining room, living room, family room, and a charming home office/library, while a generous three-season porch extends everyday living outdoors. Gather around the living room’s wood stove on a winter evening, open the house to the porch when the weather turns warm, or simply settle in and watch the light change over the mountains. Upstairs, the primary suite opens to its own balcony with Adirondack views and incorporates ample walk-in closet space. The three additional bedrooms provide plenty of room to spread out. Above the two-car garage, a bright bonus room crowned by a windowed cupola is one of the home’s unexpected highlights, equally suited to an office, studio, playroom, or private retreat. A finished walkout lower level adds even more flexible living space. Outside, thoughtfully landscaped grounds transition naturally into the surrounding woods and open land, with access to 160 acres of shared trails for exploring beyond your five acres. Recent improvements include a new architectural shingle roof, fresh interior and exterior paint, and driveway upgrades. Charlotte’s beaches and Point Bay Marina are nearby, with Burlington within easy reach. It’s a home with a strong sense of place: thoughtful architecture, five acres to enjoy, and those long western views that never really get old.
