Open House Sunday 8/10, 12:00pm-2:00pm. Impeccably maintained and deeply cherished, this lakefront retreat offers thoughtful craftsmanship, and timeless quality in every detail with a lakefront lifestyle. Set against the background of Cayuga Lake, the property is located on a quiet road in a lakeside neighborhood known for its strong sense of community. It's common to see neighbors walking, biking, and enjoying the surrounding views. The setting offers beauty, connection, and municipal water making it a sought after spot on the lake. Steps down to the beach take you to a unique beach rock-filled dock enclosed with timber retaining walls- ideal for lounging by the shore or launching boats into calm morning waters. A boathouse with electric and its own wifi sits at the shore. Inside, the craftsmanship speaks for itself. Real oak floors and stylish tile throughout the main level. Granite kitchen countertops, custom cabinetry, and a curated farmhouse sink make the open kitchen both functional and stunning. The layout flows seamlessly from kitchen, to dining room, to living room to a window lined solarium- all of which open out to an expansive ironwood deck, built with premium South American hardwood for lasting durability. Out front, a matching ironwood lattice, lined with flowering clematis, adorns the home's exterior along with cherry and apple trees, fragrant lilacs lining the road for privacy, and a seasonal waterfall bordering the edge of the property. Every room on the main floors offers lake views and the primary suite features its own private vista, along with a walk-in closet and tiled bathroom. Upstairs you'll find three additional bedrooms with a shared full bath. A pair of connected bedrooms offer custom built-in bunks- a bit of extra charm. A truly special home and property blending thoughtful updates, enduring materials, and natural beauty for anyone wanting to live on the lake- this is a haven like no other.
