Danville, VT | 234 LaPerle Drive

There’s a lot to love about this spot on Joe’s Pond. Set on 1.24+/- acres with 145+/- feet of beautiful lake frontage, this adorable cottage offers something especially appealing for waterfront living: space. A large, open yard extends toward the water, giving you plenty of room for lawn games, barbecues, gatherings with friends, or simply finding your favorite spot to take in the view. Located on a private road, the property has a wonderful sense of privacy, with a setting that makes it very easy to settle in and stay awhile. The cottage is every bit as inviting, with a comfortable one-level layout and plenty of windows bringing the lake view into the living spaces. The kitchen, dining, and living areas flow together in an open gathering space, with a centrally located Jotul gas stove adding warmth when there's a chill in the air. A front sitting room offers another cozy place to relax, complete with a second Jotul stove and more windows overlooking the water. Just off this room is the primary bedroom with its own private 3/4 bath. Two additional bedrooms and a second 3/4 bath provide plenty of room for guests. Outside, a lovely deck faces the lake and gives you another place to enjoy the view, while a handy shed keeps outdoor and lake gear organized. A new roof is another welcome update. And then, of course, there’s Joe’s Pond itself. Swim, paddle, boat, fish, or head out to explore the nearby Lamoille Valley Rail Trail. With generous acreage, 145 feet of frontage, a wonderfully usable waterfront setting, and an adorable cottage to call your own, this is a place built around spending as much time outside, by the water, and together as possible.

This summer cottage was built by the current owner's parents in 1953 and has been enjoyed by his family for over 70 years. Now it's available for your family to enjoy and make lifetime memories from. The cottage features an open floor plan with a modern kitchen that offers eating space, a dining room and spacious fireplaced living room that are all open to each other plus two bedrooms and an updated 3/4 bathroom with laundry. Just off the living room is a large open porch facing the water. There is also a cozy loft area that kids would love for a sleeping space. With vinyl siding and a standing seam metal roof, exterior maintenance is minimal. There are also a 2 car garage and a boathouse right at the water's edge where you can pilot your boat right in from the open lake. The 5.5 acre lot with 431' of water frontage on a corner with shoreline in two directions is a rare find. There is lots of open area, some wooded spots, and some wetland. You also have lots of frontage on the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail for biking, hiking, and snowmobiling. With your membership in the Joes Pond Association, you have access to the tennis courts, recreation area, and pavilion. There is potential for subdividing the lot or for building another cottage/home on the lot (with required approvals of course). Come check out this unique property that reflects the early days of summer lakeside living in the Northeast Kingdom of VT. Cottage is being sold furnished.
