Nestled on 124 feet of level private frontage along the pristine shores of Skaneateles Lake, this quintessential lakefront home is located less than two miles from the heart of the village. Timeless elegance and classic charm welcome you from the moment you step through the front door.
Oversized windows throughout the home frame breathtaking views of the sparkling blue waters, while gorgeous hardwood floors enhance the warmth and character of nearly every room. The inviting wood-paneled den offers a cozy retreat, while the expansive living room provides generous gathering space with a beautiful wood-burning fireplace with stone surround and mantel. Off the living room you enter an ample flagstone patio overlooking the lake, creating the perfect setting for entertaining or relaxing by the water.
The spectacular formal dining room is rich in architectural detail, featuring a coffered ceiling, intricate moldings, and an original wood-burning fireplace that adds timeless sophistication. The classic galley kitchen is equipped with a stove, refrigerator, and dishwasher, blending functionality with traditional charm.
On the north side of the home, the enormous family room is ideal for larger gatherings and features a charming corner wood-burning fireplace. Upstairs, the second floor offers five spacious bedrooms and two full baths. The elegant primary suite is a peaceful sanctuary complete with hardwood floors, ample closet space, a private bath, and its own wood-burning fireplace. Four additional charming bedrooms share an updated full bathroom.
Additional features include a full attic with pull-down access for excellent storage. The expansive, level lawn stretches beautifully from the home to the lake, offering endless opportunities for outdoor entertaining, recreation, and enjoying the very best of waterfront living.
This truly special property rarely becomes available. Just a two-minute drive from the village center, you’ll enjoy convenient access to the area’s acclaimed restaurants, boutiques, and shops. This property offers privacy and tranquility of this extraordinary lakefront setting.
A rare gem on Skaneateles Lake.
