Imagine the quintessential lakehouse: pine-scented breezes wafting across an open water view with quiet swimming waters, a private beach, and a few easy steps on a woodland path to a house oozing with Adirondack charm. This storybook Vineyards home, designed by Al Platt and built by John Sullivan, is the stuff of which such dreams are made. The 5300 square feet of living space, much of it wood-lined with Pecky Cypress and floored in reclaimed White Oak, encompasses five charming bedrooms with six full baths and compact living areas. The perfect screened porch spills out onto a flagstone deck and links the main house with the guest bedrooms and lake room, with wine cellar, bar and fireplace, all of which is set against fabulous views of the water from two directions. Comfortably rustic and undeniably enchanting, this true lake home welcomes you with open arms, and is precisely the place in which to kick off your shoes, fall asleep on the screened porch and unwind to the music of waves lapping on the shore.
