Description

Step into the charm of classic Adirondack living at 48 Old Lake Colby Road in Saranac Lake. This inviting Old Style 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home blends nostalgic warmth with the sights and sounds of the mountains. Inside, a cozy fireplace anchors the main living area, casting a soft glow on chilly evenings and creating an ideal setting for gatherings after a day on the trails. Sunlight pours through the windows, framing glimpses of the surrounding peaks and the tranquil village beyond. Outside, a gentle brook runs in front of the home, filling the air with the soothing sound of moving water. The fenced side yard offers a private spot for pets, play, or quiet morning coffee as mist lifts off Mount Pisgah. From the front step, you can smell the fresh pine air and feel the cool mountain breeze. Located in the village of Saranac Lake, you're minutes from shopping, restaurants, and year-round outdoor activities. Hiking, skiing, and lakes are all close at hand. An added benefit: tenants in the cabin next door provide built-in rental income or flexible guest space. At 48 Old Lake Colby Road, mountain views, village convenience, and Adirondack character come together in a home that feels like a retreat every day.
