It has the charm and feel of a century old cabin in the woods of Vermont with all of the comforts of a modern home. The house's proximity to the water and westerly views makes it truly special and unforgettable. During the massive renovation, we converted the original 4-bedroom whole house into a 2-bedroom 1 bath "Main House" and then added an entire new structure, we call the "Overlook", upon the rock ledge above and slightly behind the Main House . There we added 2 huge queen bedrooms, a coffee minibar, an overdeck, and of course a bathroom with a clawfoot tub & shower. The two structures are connected by an switchback staircase that is internal to the Main House but connects via an open deck to the Overlook. There is a floorplan in the photos. The Main House includes a primary queen bedroom, that has a private outside terrace, and an adjacent kids bunk bed room that are both down the hall from the living room and modern kitchen. The kitchen is quite large and has an oversized fridge, gas oven and range on the island, as well as a farmhouse sink with tons of cookware. The living room is appointed with thick leather Stickley sofa and lounge chairs that face the Vermont Castings wood stove which is perfect for warming up the house in the mornings or at night while you play one of our large selection of unique and classic board games with your family. We have two dining room tables, one inside and the other outside in the screen porch; each of which double as terrific places to gather. The living area and kitchen has 14 large double-hung windows around three sides of the room that create amazing breezes throughout the days and nights. There is a downstairs bathroom located across the hall from the bedrooms that includes a slate-wall rain-shower room made for company. The heart of the house, however, has always been the oversized large screen porch that opens from the main living area with westerly views of the water that will give you the best sunsets seen anywhere in New England. We typically spend most of our time on the porch and leave it open all summer long. Swimming is superb from our floating dock - clear and deep - and the cove is very private and well protected for little ones. You can tie off your boat to our dock or use it to launch one our two paddleboards and/or two kayaks we have provided for your enjoyment. The community also has a hard tennis court with pickleball lines and a half-court basketball court for your use and pleasure. This house is seasonal and does not have heat with the exception of a cast iron woodstove in the great room and space heaters in each bedroom. In addition, we can make available our "Treetop Yurt" with a king bed, compost outhouse and open air rain-shower, that is located high above a nearby cliff overlooking the lake which is about 200 yards from the house's front door. The Yurt allows for additional occupancy of up to 10 people total. The shoreline is full of rock cliffs and places to swim and explore with our kayaks and paddleboards. Additionally, Colchester is known for one of the best bikeways - the Colchester Causeway (look it up on google) - if you want to do something different. Finlay's Cove is located in a community of 300 acres known as Braeloch and includes 2.5 miles of private shoreline. The houses are seasonal and spread out so privacy is included. Yet we are only located a 20 minute drive from the airport and from downtown Burlington or 90 minutes from Montreal! Burlington's Church Street Marketplace is a 3 block pedestrian outdoor shopping walk that was named #1 "Best Public Square" in the United States by USA Today in 2022. Drive 10MPH in Braeloch proper (from East Braeloch to house). Trash goes to the dumpster by 1448 Braeloch house. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cabin: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker -
