185 Chester Shores Drive, Chestertown, NY 12817 (MLS# 207363)

Description

Nestled along 100' of direct frontage on beautiful Loon Lake, this well-maintained year-round home offers breathtaking 180-degree lake and mountain views with the perfect setup for summer fun. Enjoy a sandy-bottom shoreline, two levels of usable waterfront with natural stone retaining walls, pressure-treated stairs, and a 40' x 6' permanent dock ideal for boating, swimming, fishing, kayaking, and making lasting Adirondack memories. Additional outdoor amenities include a shed, carport, and kayak/paddleboard rack. Thoughtfully updated with a new high-efficiency propane heating and cooling system (2025), the home offers 2 bedrooms and 1 full bath on the main level with an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area designed to capture lake views. The finished lower level includes 2 additional bedrooms, a full bath, recreation space perfect for guests, game nights, and a home office or gym, along with a laundry/mechanical room. Additional highlights include a wood-burning fireplace and whole-house Generac propane generator. Added bonus: The property previously received Town of Chester approvals and architectural plans for a proposed custom 1,564 sq. ft. lakefront home with dramatic 13' ceilings, offering future owners a rare opportunity to expand or create a custom Adirondack retreat with valuable groundwork already completed. Your Adirondack lake lifestyle starts here!
