This 3-season lakeside cottage offers mid-century Adirondack charm on picturesque Scott’s Lake w/200’ of direct waterfront. .84 acre lot is one of the largest lots on the lake. Thoughtfully designed stone walls & pathways lead you to the cottage from the large driveway w/gorgeous views of the lake. The yard offers you apple, pear, plum trees. The fireplace is the central focal point featuring a stone surround, barn beam mantle w/a Hampton wood stove insert that warms the entire cabin on cool Fall nights. A screened porch runs the length of the cottage & certainly provides the most used living space overlooking the lake with room to dine, kick back or even sleep in the fresh air. Big ticket items have been updated: a water line, brand new septic. Also avail 15 acre parcel w/views of lake. Dock, Superior Condition
