Your opportunity to own a remarkable Cayuga Lake retreat has arrived in the Hibiscus Harbor Community. This 5-bedroom, 3-full-bath contemporary residence spans 2,944 square feet of well-designed living space, balancing comfortable modern living with an exceptional waterfront footprint. A paved driveway leads to the two-car attached garage, providing practical convenience and plenty of room for storage.
Inside, the home features an excellent layout centered around a great room with 13.5' ceilings, where a cozy gas fireplace serves as a warm focal point for cooler evenings. This space opens directly into the standout feature of the interior: a Florida room. This room delivers astonishing, panoramic Southern views. You can catch both the sunrise and sunset right from here, along with a fantastic, clear view of Frontenac Island.
Year-round comfort is handled by central air conditioning, public water, and a layout that offers ample storage options throughout. With five bedrooms and three full baths, the home is well-equipped to host family and weekend guests comfortably.
Outdoor living is focused entirely on the water, featuring 192 feet of prime lake frontage. The property includes a dock with motorized hoist ready for your boats and lake gear, making it easy to spend your days swimming, boating, or fishing Cayuga’s famous warm and cold-water species. The level lakeside yard includes a private shuffleboard court and a handy storage shed that can easily house your hobby equipment or be utilized as a simple bunk house.
The location places you right in the heart of the region's attractions, just a short distance from the Wheelhouse Restaurant and minutes from local wineries, breweries, waterfalls, and nature trails. Enjoy quiet lake life while maintaining easy regional access: a 10-minute drive to Aurora, 45 minutes to Ithaca and Cornell University, and just one hour to both Rochester and Syracuse.
