Charming & Family-Friendly Lakefront home on Lake Carmi | House in Franklin
3 Bedroom House in Franklin
This Franklin home sits right on beautiful Lake Carmi, offering year-round recreation — enjoy canoeing, swimming, and paddle boarding in the summer, or ice fishing and snowshoeing in the winter. It’s a lovely 45 minute drive to Jay Peak Resort for skiing and making memories at the indoor Waterpark called the Pump House. Franklin is 5 mins away w/ a General Store (fresh pizzas, deli, wine, basic groceries), Haston Library, Post Office and Dick Wright Pub. Enosburg is (18 mins), St. Albans (25 mins), BTV (1 hr) & Frelighsburg, QC (20 mins).
Inside, the home is thoughtfully arranged across three levels for comfort and privacy.
• Top Floor: Two cozy bedrooms — one with a queen bed and another with a full-over-full bunk — plus a ¾ bathroom with a shower.
• Main Level: The heart of the home, featuring a fully equipped kitchen, a comfortable living room, a media room with a TV and sofa bed, a full bathroom with a tub/shower combo, and access to the deck and grill overlooking the lake.
• Lower Level: A serene king bedroom, a dedicated office space, a laundry room, and walkout access to the covered patio area with a relaxing porch swing beneath the deck.
Guests will feel right at home with three inviting bedrooms, two bathrooms, board and card games, a variety of spaces to gather or unwind and a fire pit with plenty of seating.
Other details to note:
-During the winter months, a 4WD or AWD vehicle is required to access the home. The driveway goes down a hill and can be difficult to drive up when there’s snow or ice. While the road is plowed regularly, conditions can still be challenging for 2WD vehicles.
-The lakefront is reached by walking down a hill along a stone path. There’s a rope railing to hold onto.
-There is a camera above the front door that faces the parking area only.
-There is one window AC unit in one of the upstairs bedrooms.
-Cyanobacteria (also known as blue-green algae) are common native organisms in lakes, ponds and rivers around the world and are a natural part of the lake ecosystem. In Vermont, they can be found in any water body, river or stream. They can grow into large visible masses called blooms and become harmful to humans and animals. It is advised to analyze any body of water you ever plan to swim in whether it is freshwater or salt water. If it looks like pea soup and you’re in doubt, stay out.
Luckily, the Lake Carmi State Park tests the water daily and the results are posted on the Health Vermont website. Vermont uses 3 levels to describe cyanobacteria conditions:
-Generally Safe - Few if any cyanobacteria present. The area should be safe for recreation.
-Low Alert - Small amounts of cyanobacteria present. The area is open for recreation, but caution is advised in any area where dense accumulations or scums are seen.
-High Alert - Large amounts of cyanobacteria are present and scums may occur in some areas. The water is not safe for recreation.
