Description

New construction with spectacular views of Whiteface Mountain. Currently under construction on a level 2.45-acre lot in Wilmington, this thoughtfully designed approximately 1,500 sq. ft., 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home combines contemporary Adirondack style with a highly functional floor plan, distinctive custom features, and maintenance-free composite siding for long-lasting durability and easy upkeep. The open-concept main level is centered around a spacious kitchen featuring granite countertops, a large island, gas range, and a dedicated coffee station with its own sink and microwave drawer. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining and living areas, where a modern stone gas fireplace provides a warm focal point with mountain views as the backdrop. Tile flooring with radiant heat extends throughout the first floor, while mini-splits in the bedrooms and main living area provide efficient year-round heating and cooling. A well-designed mudroom entrance includes a closet and built-in bench for coats, shoes, and outdoor gear. The laundry/mechanical room incorporates a half bath and convenient laundry chute. Upstairs, a unique lofted office/walkway features a dramatic glass-floor detail, while a spacious bonus room provides flexible space for a media room, home gym, playroom, or additional office along with abundant storage. Outdoor features include a stamped concrete patio, outdoor shower, dedicated dog-wash station, circular driveway, and a covered overhang ideal for bikes, lawn equipment, garbage cans, and recreational gear. A detached garage can also be added for an additional cost. Located just down the road from Whiteface Mountain Ski Area and within the Lake Placid School District, this is an opportunity to own a brand-new, efficient, low-maintenance home designed around comfort, recreation, and exceptional mountain views.
