Brand New with Stunning Lake Views! It doesn’t get much better than this. New Construction, this sweet home in Brighton has everything you need to ensure you enjoy your time in the Northeast Kingdom with no projects, just move right in and start experiencing the peacefulness of this small community. Set on 1.3 acres, the property includes nice lawn areas as well as apple trees, and directly overlooks the island in the 626-acre lake that was the impetus for its name, Island Pond. The home was designed to take full advantage of the view with an open floor plan. The eat-in kitchen boasts ceiling high white cabinets, stainless appliances, and a shiplap island with butcher block top and seating for two. The living area is set up for a wall-mount TV, for those times when you can take your eyes away from the view. A glass door leads to the screened porch, where you can spend days catching glimpses of the eagle coming and going from its nest on the island and evenings watching the sun set behind Bald Mountain. The main bedroom is on the lake side of the house, so you can take in the views while snug in bed. There’s a second bedroom on the other side of the house, and they share the full bath. The entry features a built-in bench, shiplap wall with shelves and hooks, and a large closet. Step inside with the virtual tour, then schedule a time to come and see this wonderful piece of the NEK in person.
