Set in the sought-after & vibrant Sheldrake community, overlooking the expansive shores of Cayuga Lake, stands this Victorian lake house with timeless elegance & charm, offering unapparelled views of the lake. Stepping through the front door you enter a foyer featuring hardwood parquet floors that whisper tales of gatherings & laughter from a bygone era. The home features original intricate tin ceilings & stained-glass windows throughout.
