You'll have a front-row seat for sunrises over Lake Memphremagog's South Bay with this ranch-style home. Set on .37 level acres on a dead-end street, the peaceful surroundings will soothe your soul, yet it's only 2.5 miles to downtown Newport with its variety of stores, boutiques, eateries, & so much more. From the front deck you enter into the generous sized kitchen & dining room. Kitchen features include a tile backsplash & warm maple cabinetry, as will the extensive amount of counter space thanks to the peninsula & 6' island. Both areas also provide seating for casual meals, as well as storage in the island. Continue into the living room where you'll spend cool evenings around the warmth of the gas fireplace, & every chance you get you'll want to be on the screened porch that's just on the other side of the glass sliders. The primary bedroom with double closets, as well as the full bath are also located off the living room. A mudroom & laundry closet with stacked washer/dryer is conveniently located between the kitchen & attached 1-car garage. The partially finished basement includes two bedrooms & ¾ bath, & additional space that can be used as a rec room or home gym. A crushed stone patio in the side yard provides views of the lake & is backed by a 5' privacy fence & bookended by garden areas. Additional perennials surround the home, & two sheds provide storage for garden tools, lawn equipment, & toys.  Neighboring home also available, see MLS # 4919683.
