Agent Comments
Tucked along a coveted stretch of Finger Lakes shoreline, this exceptional lakefront retreat offers a rare combination of privacy, convenience, and timeless character.
Located minutes from Ithaca, the Ithaca Yacht Club, and the beloved Glenwood Pines Restaurant, the property feels secluded and peaceful while remaining close to everything that makes lake living so desirable. A winding driveway creates a memorable arrival through mature trees to beautifully maintained grounds, easy access parking at the home and an additional 3-4 car parking pad for guests.
Originally a cherished family cottage, it has been thoughtfully transformed through extensive renovations and infrastructure improvements while preserving the warmth and charm that make waterfront homes so special. The result is a move-in-ready lakefront property that blends classic character with modern comfort and convenience. The professionally landscaped grounds have been redesigned for beauty and low maintenance, with expansive wood decking, stone patios, extensive stonework, refurbished pathways and steps, wood fencing, retaining walls, subtle exterior lighting, and a reinforced seawall. Every detail has been carefully considered to enhance the lakeside lifestyle.
Inside, numerous updates, include a new bedroom, a custom staircase leading to the upper bunkroom, renovated bathrooms, upgraded kitchen appliances, quartz counters, and a stylish backsplash. Modern amenities include Wi-Fi-enabled security and air-conditioning systems, providing comfort and peace of mind whether at home or away.
Designed for year-round enjoyment, the property has benefited from significant mechanical improvements, including complete winterization, a new roof, exterior painting, a new dock and boat lift, an updated septic system, and a beach-front screened gazebo that creates the perfect setting for waterfront entertaining. Two storage sheds, advanced water filtration system, magnetic water softening technology, and inline water heating ensure a worry-free water supply.
This is a rare opportunity to own a turnkey luxury waterfront retreat where every major improvement has already been completed. Arrive, relax, and enjoy!
