About This Home

Your opportunity to own a remarkable Cayuga Lake retreat has arrived in the Hibiscus Harbor Community. This 5-bedroom, 3-full-bath contemporary residence spans 2,944 square feet of well-designed living space, balancing comfortable modern living with an exceptional waterfront footprint. A paved driveway leads to the two-car attached garage, providing practical convenience and plenty of room for storage. Inside, the home features an excellent layout centered around a great room with 13.5' ceilings, where a cozy gas fireplace serves as a warm focal point for cooler evenings. This space opens directly into the standout feature of the interior: a Florida room. This room delivers astonishing, panoramic Southern views. You can catch both the sunrise and sunset right from here, along with a fantastic, clear view of Frontenac Island. Year-round comfort is handled by central air conditioning, public water, and a layout that offers ample storage options throughout. With five bedrooms and three full baths, the home is well-equipped to host family and weekend guests comfortably. Outdoor living is focused entirely on the water, featuring 192 feet of prime lake frontage. The property includes a dock with motorized hoist ready for your boats and lake gear, making it easy to spend your days swimming, boating, or fishing Cayuga’s famous warm and cold-water species. The level lakeside yard includes a private shuffleboard court and a handy storage shed that can easily house your hobby equipment or be utilized as a simple bunk house. The location places you right in the heart of the region's attractions, just a short distance from the Wheelhouse Restaurant and minutes from local wineries, breweries, waterfalls, and nature trails. Enjoy quiet lake life while maintaining easy regional access: a 10-minute drive to Aurora, 45 minutes to Ithaca and Cornell University, and just one hour to both Rochester and Syracuse. Square footage, bedrooms and baths differ from public record due to an addition. Square footage verified by Matterport.
