About This Home
Welcome to lakeside living at its finest. Set in one of Burlington's most coveted waterfront enclaves, 185 Crescent Beach Drive is a masterfully updated retreat where lake and mountain views, refined interiors, and an unbeatable location converge into something truly special. This four-bedroom, two-and-a-half bath residence has been thoughtfully improved with discerning buyers in mind. A new roof and updated heating system and energy efficient mini-splits provide lasting peace of mind, while the fully renovated primary bath stands as a showcase of sophisticated design — a serene escape you'll look forward to returning to every day. Step directly from the primary suite into your private cupola, a rare and enchanting perch perfectly suited for taking in the shimmering waters of Lake Champlain and the rolling Adirondack Mountains beyond. Morning coffee has never looked quite like this. The home's generous layout offers exceptional flexibility, including a first-floor bonus room that lends itself effortlessly to a home office, guest suite, playroom, or private sitting room — whatever your lifestyle demands. Outside, the Crescent Beach neighborhood delivers a lifestyle as impressive as the home itself. Swim or sunbathe at Crescent Beach, glide along Burlington's famous lakeside bike path toward downtown or the Champlain Causeway, and enjoy effortless access to UVM Medical Center, Burlington International Airport, and the vibrant energy of one of New England's most beloved cities. This is more than a home — it's a lifestyle. Opportunities like this on Crescent Beach Drive are exceedingly rare. Schedule your private showing today.
