This exceptional Finger Lakes retreat offers the rare combination of privacy, scale, and effortless waterfront living. Elevated setting above historic high-water events, yet just 33 steps to the water's edge. Set on approximately 250 feet of private Seneca Lake frontage along the coveted eastern shoreline, docks and boardwalk were not affected by the 2026 high water levels. Tucked away on a quiet, year-round maintained road in Hector and serviced by municipal water. Thoughtfully designed across three spacious levels, the home features 4–5 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, offering abundant room for gathering, hosting, and unwinding for generations to come. A beautifully executed 2015 addition enhances the residence with an attached two-car garage, a light-filled family room with stone fireplace, a generous kitchen with sweeping lake views, and a private bedroom level with central air. A whole-house generator provides additional peace of mind. Framed by the rolling, vineyard-covered hills of the Finger Lakes, the property is designed for elevated outdoor living. Expansive lawn areas invite recreation and entertaining, while a detached two-car garage, and a natural stone fire pit with seating create both function and charm. Waterfront access is a wide staircase that leads to additional lakefront amenities, including a covered pavilion with electric and a newer dock equipped with a 10,000 lb. boat lift and electric jet ski lift. Inside and out, every detail has been curated for comfort, ease, and memorable lakeside living. The serene primary suite offers a spa-inspired bathroom with a radiant-heated tiled shower and a private lakeside balcony. The expansive wraparound deck sets the stage for unforgettable sunset gatherings, while below offers a private seating area and hot tub. Exceptionally well maintained and rich with thoughtful, creative details, this property is equally suited as a full-time residence, luxury vacation escape, or generational retreat where lasting memories are made on the water. A full list of special features and recent updates is available.
