Description

This quintessential 1920's Adirondack compound is set on 2.35 acres with 225ft of pristine shoreline, offering absolute privacy and uninterrupted vistas. Backing up to state land, the property's four buildings are thoughtfully placed to capture sweeping views of Shelter Strait, the Southern Range, and the commanding summit of Whiteface. The main residence, a six-bedroom, three-and-a-half bath home of nearly 3,700 square feet, sits just feet from the water's edge. Its expansive lakeside deck is ideal for sun-soaked afternoons or alfresco dining, while a screened porch opens into a classic Adirondack great room with Douglas fir beadboard, maple hardwood floors, and a striking cobblestone fireplace. The formal dining room offers its own fireplace, and the chef's kitchen features a gas range, stainless appliances, functional island, and a screened-in outdoor grilling station—perfect for summer evenings. Upstairs, three of the bedrooms seem to float above the water, with sunlight and serene lake views pouring through every window. The primary suite includes a fireplace, and all bedrooms are complemented by luxuriously renovated bathrooms and custom furnishings. Two guest cabins provide additional accommodations: Cabin 1: Four bedrooms, one bath, and a screened-in porch. Cabin 2: One bedroom, one bath, a kitchenette, and oversized living area. At the shoreline, an exceptional three-slip boathouse stands as a testament to craftsmanship and Adirondack history. With current regulations, boathouses of this size and upper-level finished space cannot be recreated. The lower level offers three deep-water slips, built-in storage for kayaks, paddleboards, and gear, and room for additional boats to dock along the exterior. The upper level is a flexible, open space with a deck that frames Whiteface perfectly. The grounds are beautifully landscaped. Lakeside firepit. This is more than a home. It's a generational legacy property on the famous West Shore and accessible only by boat
