Description

Bear Loj is an exceptional Adirondack home with outstanding craftsmanship, tremendous space, and an impressive collection of amenities, all in a private neighborhood setting just minutes from the Village of Lake Placid. Incredibly well maintained and offered turn-key with most furnishings included, this six-bedroom home is ready to enjoy as a year-round residence or Adirondack retreat. The home has tremendous character throughout, with natural wood finishes, handcrafted log details, beautiful stonework, and three fireplaces. The impressive great room features soaring ceilings and a substantial stone fireplace, creating a wonderful gathering and entertaining space. The spacious kitchen offers extensive cabinetry, granite countertops, a large center island, and high-end appliances, with plenty of room for entertaining. Mini-split air conditioning provides added comfort during the summer months. In addition to six bedrooms, the home offers a dedicated office, fitness room, exceptional game room, sauna, and a beautifully updated primary bath with a freestanding soaking tub, oversized tiled shower, and double vanity. The outdoor spaces are equally impressive. A large elevated deck extends across the home, including a covered area ideal for outdoor dining. The hot tub is perfect after a day of skiing or hiking, while the separate patio and fire area is a great spot to spend an Adirondack evening. An outdoor climbing wall adds another unique recreational feature. Bear Loj feels private and tucked away among the trees, yet is remarkably close to everything Lake Placid has to offer. The Jackrabbit Trail is within walking distance, with mountain biking and cross-country skiing practically at your doorstep. Main Street, Mirror Lake, restaurants, shops, Olympic venues, skiing, hiking, and four-season recreation are all just minutes away. A truly special Lake Placid property that has been exceptionally cared for and is ready for its next owner to enjoy.
