Welcome to Loons Nest, your peaceful retreat on the shores of Silver Lake. This beautifully designed Adirondack-style home offers breathtaking views of both the mountains and the water, creating a perfect backdrop for everyday living or a weekend getaway.
The main floor features a spacious open-concept layout, highlighted by a large kitchen and a cozy great room with a striking wood-burning fireplace. A three-season sunroom invites you to relax and unwind, while three generously sized bedrooms including a luxurious primary suite provide plenty of space for family and guests. The primary suite includes a spa-like bathroom with a soaking tub, separate shower, large walk-in closet, and convenient hook up for stackable washer and dryer. Large balcony, ideal for sipping your morning coffee or unwinding after a day of adventure.
The lower level is perfect for entertaining, complete with a wet bar, expansive family room with a stone gas fireplace, an additional bedroom and full bath, plus a separate laundry room. Walk right out to the water's edge through another set of French doors, just steps from the private shoreline.
This property has benefited from several major improvements over the past five years, including a new septic system, new roof, HVAC updates, a whole-house surge protector, and extensive professional landscaping.
Silver Lake is a hidden gem, a quiet lake with no public boat launch and minimal boat traffic, ensuring your privacy and serenity. Despite its secluded feel, you're just 30 minutes from Plattsburgh or Lake Placid, and only 15 minutes from Whiteface Mountain.
Offered fully furnished, this home is move-in ready and an exceptional opportunity to own
