About This Home

As of July 2020

Don't miss this A frame charmer with all the character you can expect from a direct lakefront retreat. Less than 1 hour 30 minutes from Manhattan.

Take in the breathtaking panoramic lake views from the wall of windows, private deck or walk out on this level lot to take a dip in the water. The home is also ready for its own personal dock. The private lake community offers beach and boat launch for your convenience. The open concept main entertaining area with cathedral ceilings pulls you in as you enter through the foyer with freestanding wood stove and tile detail. The great room provides endless views of the lake and is flanked by a floor to ceiling stone fireplace. The dining and wet bar areas are the perfect backdrop for making memories with friends and family. You won't feel removed from the party as you hand items through the convenient pass through from kitchen to dining area. 1 main level bedroom with ample closets, a cozy oversized den and full bathroom round out the 1st floor. Don't miss the aerial views of the main level entertaining area and lake from the second story interior balcony. The large Master Bedroom is also on the 2nd floors, as well as another bedroom and full bathroom. The rear deck was made for backyard BBQs and is large enough to host a crowd with a sunken hot tub for relaxing. Don't delay, there is plenty of time to enjoy lakefront living THIS SUMMER!
