Adirondack Real Estate

Welcome to Birchwood, a custom Adirondack retreat in Wilmington's Indian Rock neighborhood, 1.5 miles from Whiteface Mountain and 12 miles from Lake Placid. Built by a high-end local builder and single-owned since construction, this 4,500+ sq. ft. home offers 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, a finished lower level, and an expansive bonus/game/bedroom above the attached 2-car garage. The property also includes an oversized carport and additional detached heated 2-car garage with workshop. Set on a private 1.3-acre lot with granite-capped fieldstone columns, custom gates, a paved driveway, and boulder walls, the home features classic Adirondack details: log accents, cedar shake, birch bark, and a full fieldstone chimney. Outside: a screened porch with mahogany flooring, stone patio with fire pit, flat yard space, and an Adirondack-style woodshed with power. Inside, solid maple floors and v-joint pine ceilings anchor the main level, with custom trim, wainscoting, and a fieldstone and granite fireplace. The cook's kitchen offers cherry cabinetry, honed granite counters, stainless appliances, Fisher & Paykel double dish drawers, a Blanco sink, planning desk, and eat-in bar. The first-floor primary suite includes a reading area, walk-in closet, dual vanities, jetted tub, and stone shower. The finished lower level offers a wet bar, gas fireplace, full bath, spare room, and ample space for pool and ping-pong. On the second floor, two bedrooms feature vaulted, log-beamed ceilings and share a full bath. Additional features: zoned radiant heat, a Buderus boiler, two 2024 mini-split heat pumps, spray foam insulation, whole-house audio, a 15kW propane generator, and a buried 1,000-gallon propane tank, with the detached garage/workshop added in 2015. Meticulously maintained, lightly used as a vacation home, never rented, and offered fully furnished with high-end furnishings. Showings can occur starting July 6th.
