1631 Albring Road, Skaneateles

***Showings begin Wednesday, July 8th*** A beautifully renovated cottage on over 26 acres in the Town of Skaneateles, with a private pond, stream, lake views, and much much more. Set within the award-winning Skaneateles School District, this rare property pairs significant acreage and natural beauty with an extensive renovation throughout. The home was taken to the studs and thoughtfully transformed with a reworked floor plan, all-new sheetrock, a brand-new kitchen, renovated bathrooms, updated electrical throughout the home and garage, new water lines, new windows and doors, fresh paint inside and out, and more. Its character was preserved where it matters most, with wide-plank floors and brick fireplaces still intact, while the home has been dramatically refreshed for its next chapter. The land is the showpiece. Rolling lawn gives way to mature woods, a charming stream, and a large private pond, with views toward Skaneateles Lake and privacy in every direction. Recent tree work and landscaping have opened the view to the pond, while the renovated in-ground pool, complete with a new base, liner, pump, and filter, adds another layer of outdoor enjoyment. A newer 40x28 pole barn and detached two-car garage with roughly 600 square feet of newly finished three-season bonus space above offer ample room to gather, work, store, play, and unwind. Just twelve minutes from the Village and a world apart from everything else, this is a private Skaneateles retreat where the hard work has already been done.
