Description

A rare historic lakefront retreat with 186 feet of private Ballston Lake frontage, offering timeless charm, unique architectural details, and stunning water views! Beautiful landscaping greets you before entering through a welcoming foyer featuring slate floors and original woodwork. The kitchen is filled with character, boasting cathedral ceilings, skylights, a dining area with a striking stone-surround fireplace, stainless steel appliances, abundant workspace and storage. Off of the kitchen you'll find a spacious deck, perfect for grilling, entertaining, or taking in the peaceful surroundings. Climb the ladder to a loft space above the dining area, an ideal setting for a studio, home office, or hideout. The living room showcases a built-in slate planter, large picture window, and a cozy fireplace featuring the original painting The Fallen Monarchs by renowned artist William Bliss Baker, a love letter to the woodlands surrounding Ballston Lake. The sunroom is flooded with natural light and offers an inviting space to relax or entertain. A bedroom, office, full bathroom, and convenient laundry closet complete the main level. Upstairs, you'll find an updated full bathroom with storage, and a spacious primary bedroom with breathtaking lake views, a fireplace, large walk-in closet, and access to a private rooftop deck, the perfect place to enjoy sunrise coffee or moonlit evenings overlooking the water. The third floor features a studio-style bedroom with its own balcony and half bath. Follow the private driveway to the shoreline, complete with new concrete stairs leading to a double-level dock. Enjoy boating, fishing, swimming, and relaxing on one of the Capital Region's most desirable lakes. Additional features include a generator, circular driveway, detached two-car garage, and large storage shed. This is a rare opportunity to own a true hidden gem!
