Barton, VT 05822

Built in 2024, this lovely timber frame home brings together the charm of a Vermont lakeside retreat and the comforts of newer construction, all in a size that's refreshingly easy to maintain. The living room features a beautiful vaulted ceiling, a cozy pellet stove, and generous windows that bring in natural light and views of Crystal Lake. A full kitchen with a comfortable dining nook makes great use of the space, while the main level also offers a bedroom and an especially spacious bathroom with a walk-in shower and convenient laundry. Upstairs, a generous second bedroom loft provides additional sleeping space for family or guests. Outside, the covered front porch might just become your favorite spot, with views overlooking the lake and a wonderful place to enjoy your morning coffee or unwind at the end of the day. There's just enough yard to enjoy without spending every weekend maintaining it, along with a handy shed for storing all the gear that comes with living in the Northeast Kingdom. And the location makes it even better! Just a short distance away, Crystal Lake State Park offers a beautiful stretch of sandy beach, with plenty of room for swimming, picnicking, paddling, and spending those long summer afternoons by the water. Fishing and boating are also part of the appeal of Crystal Lake, while nearby Lake Willoughby and Willoughby State Forest offer spectacular scenery and hiking opportunities. East Burke's Kingdom Trails and Burke Mountain add mountain biking and skiing to the mix, and the greater Barton area is wonderful snowmobiling country, with VAST trails throughout the region. With Barton Village conveniences close by and so much of the Northeast Kingdom waiting to be explored, it's a location that makes getting out and enjoying Vermont awfully easy. Whether you're looking for a comfortable full-time residence or a Vermont getaway, this home offers with less to maintain, more to enjoy, and a beautiful little corner of Vermont to do it all in.
