Tucked along the shores of Lake Ontario in Pulaski, this extraordinary property is one of only a select few that boasts a private, flat waterfront with smooth shoreline rocks — a striking contrast to the towering cliffs and rugged lakefronts that define much of this coast. Here, you can place chairs directly at the water’s edge, with endless views stretching to the horizon. Even more rare, the property also offers direct access to Sandy Pond with its own launch pad, unlocking a world of boating, fishing, and water sports just steps from your door. Every inch of this cottage has been meticulously reimagined by a skilled craftsman, blending timeless coastal character with modern luxuries. Vaulted ceilings and expansive windows flood the open-concept living, dining, and kitchen space with natural light, perfectly framing the water just beyond your door. The custom kitchen, with sleek cabinetry, butcher block counters, stainless appliances, and artisan finishes, sets the stage for elevated gatherings and relaxed nights in. Best of all, this retreat is being offered fully furnished, allowing you to step right into the lakefront lifestyle with ease. Step outside and you’ll find what makes this property truly extraordinary: your own private shoreline resort. A fire pit and seating area rest right at the water’s edge, offering front-row seats to million-dollar sunsets. An outdoor shower adds a refreshing touch, while the detached shed provides ample storage and the exciting potential to be reimagined as a stylish bunkie for even more accommodations. Whether you dream of a serene personal escape, a family legacy property, or a luxury vacation rental with unmatched appeal, this rare offering delivers it all. Properties with this caliber of usable, direct waterfront access — paired with a private launch pad to Sandy Pond — almost never come to market. Here, life slows down, sunsets linger longer, and every day feels like a getaway. This isn’t just lakefront living — it’s a chance to own what so many can only dream of. Please note, square footage does not match tax records, previous enclosed porch was remodeled to livable space.
