A Life Shaped by the Lake Introducing 78 Overlake Drive 78 Overlake Drive, Colchester, Vermont
Presented by Eileen Warner
A thoughtfully updated Colchester home offering generous living spaces and a coveted connection to Lake Champlain.
At Home Near the Lake Set in Colchester’s Hidden Lake neighborhood, 78 Overlake Drive offers a rare combination of beautifully updated living spaces and private, deeded access to a sandy beach on Lake Champlain. Built in 1994 and thoughtfully enhanced by its original owners, the home has evolved over time with a carefully designed addition and numerous updates that bring comfort and functionality to its more than 4,200 square feet of finished living space. Inside, inviting gathering spaces and refined details create a home designed for everyday living. Outside, a spacious deck extends life into the open air, while a shared association path leads toward one of the property’s most distinctive amenities: a sandy Lake Champlain beach shared by just 16 homes. It is a home shaped not only by its setting, but by the lifestyle that setting makes possible.

Made for Living Well At the heart of the home, an inviting step-down family room brings warmth and character to everyday life. Tray ceilings add architectural dimension, while a sand-hued stone fireplace is framed by elegant builtin bookcases, creating a natural place to gather. Throughout the home, generous spaces balance comfort with a sense of refinement, offering room for both quiet moments and time spent together. Thoughtful improvements by the original owners have allowed the home to evolve while preserving the welcoming character at its center.
From the Kitchen, Life Flows Easily The updated kitchen sits at the center of everyday life, combining thoughtful function with spaces that invite people to linger. Granite countertops and a stone backsplash complement newer appliances, sink and hardware, while the generous center island creates a natural place for casual meals and conversation. Just beyond, the light-filled eating area extends the kitchen toward the outdoors, with glass doors opening to the deck. Together, the spaces create an easy progression from cooking and gathering inside to dining and relaxing in the open air.
Living Extends Outdoors Beyond the glass doors, an expansive Trex deck completed in 2024 creates an outdoor extension of the home. With space for dining, relaxing and gathering outside, the deck brings everyday life into the surrounding landscape during Vermont’s warmer months. Whether stepping outside with morning coffee, sharing a meal, or simply settling in at the end of the day, it adds another dimension to the way the home is enjoyed.
A Path to the Lake One of the defining pleasures of life at 78 Overlake Drive lies just beyond the home. A beautifully maintained shared path leads toward Lake Champlain, opening to private, deeded access to a sandy association beach shared by only 16 homes. It is a connection to the lake that becomes part of everyday life — a place for summer afternoons by the water, quiet moments along the shore, and the spectacular sunsets for which Lake Champlain is known.
Space to Retreat The home’s private spaces have received the same thoughtful attention as its gathering rooms. The spacious primary suite offers a comfortable retreat with an updated bath featuring a spa tub, tiled shower and double sink. Additional bathrooms have also been refreshed with new tile, cabinetry, lighting and shower updates. New carpeting installed throughout the second floor adds another layer of comfort, creating restful spaces designed to feel distinctly removed from the activity of the day.

Life Around the Lake In Colchester, Lake Champlain is more than a backdrop. It shapes the rhythm of life throughout the seasons. A network of walking and biking trails ranges from the celebrated causeway stretching over the water to peaceful nature preserves, creating countless ways to experience the landscape. Nearby Malletts Bay, with four primary marinas along its protected waters, offers convenient access to Lake Champlain for boating and days spent on the water. And with the University of Vermont and Burlington International Airport nearby, 78 Overlake Drive pairs its lakeside lifestyle with access to the greater Burlington area. Here, home and the lake are never far apart.
However You Spend the Day AT THE WATER Follow the path to the association beach and settle in along the shores of Lake Champlain.
OUTSIDE AT HOME Open the doors to the deck for meals outdoors, an afternoon with a book, or time spent with family and friends.
OUT EXPLORING Bike the causeway, explore nearby trails and nature preserves, or head toward Malletts Bay for a day on the water.
BACK HOME Gather around the stone fireplace, retreat upstairs, and let home become the quiet end to a day spent outside.
At 78 Overlake Drive, the best of the setting extends naturally into the way the home is lived.
