Built in 1929 by a prominent NYC surgeon, this grand home sits on a peninsula of 543 feet & 1.8 acres with sunset views. The property includes a sandy beach, a dock, & a floating raft used by many summer residents of Star Lake for cruising the waterway. Beautiful stone walls line the drive into the property, & stone terraces behind the property make the setting very private. There are multiple porches, both enclosed and open to enjoy the lake views from any angle. And, there are many extra features including hardwood floors, Italian tile surrounding the fireplace, a sauna, and spacious rooms. The master suite includes large bedroom, full bath, built in storage, and enclosed porch.
