Open, bright, and contemporary streamside lake cottage just steps to pristine, unspoiled Lake Waubeeka: a private, mountaintop spring-fed lake surrounded by hundreds of acres of protected woodlands and 20+ miles of hiking trails. It’s sophisticated summer-camp at this cozy getaway with extensive handsome decking for outdoor gathering, bird watching, and relaxing. The home overlooks a westerly running brook sourced from the lake itself, that tumbles through the verdant front yard, adding an inspiring ambiance to an already poignant, magical setting. The interior showcases extensive hardwood flooring (both standard and wide plank), charming wood paneled ceilings, high-end thermopane windows, and a sunshine filled flagstone-floored lower level walk-out flex space (bedroom or perhaps den or artist's studio!), full bathroom, and could-be kitchenette area with in-law potential. Come wintertime, watch as sunsets pour over the visible ridge on Wooster Mountain, and light a fire in the upper level mid-century fireplace, or the wood burning stove below (or both!). But for now, get your firefly jars and bathing suits ready for a stroll to the beach, as your lake house awaits, only an hour and change to Manhattan, minutes to Metro North, and just in time for summer’s end.
