2122 Lake Road, Spafford

Dream Lodge sits on 1.39 acres of Skaneateles countryside, with 96 feet of deeded, shared access to Skaneateles Lake and a Finger Lakes Land Trust conservation easement across the rear field that can never be developed. Access to the lake runs through the Widewater Association, with dock and designated parking roughly a half-mile away, and the property lies within the Skaneateles school district. Designed by Eggleston & Krenzer and built by Don Petrocci, the fiber-cement and Pella-clad residence pairs architectural pedigree with landscape design by Mariane Wheatley-Miller of AJ Miller Landscape. Inside, 2,679 square feet unfold with restraint: an open-concept plan, a first-floor primary suite, two wood-burning fireplaces, and a loft above the main living space, all finished in hardwood and tile by interior designer Marcia Philipp. The kitchen centers on a large island topped with a custom walnut butcher block crafted by Cazenovia Cut Block, complemented by a walk-in pantry and gas range, and opening directly to the family room. Thoughtful custom details continue throughout, including Cazenovia Cut Block shelving and handcrafted barn doors that add warmth and character to the home. The finished lower level offers a versatile recreation room, easily reimagined as a bunk room, plus a full bath, laundry and storage. The attached garage goes beyond parking, with radiant heated floors, custom built-ins, and its own wood-burning fireplace, set up to convert into additional living space if needed. Outside, a covered front porch and rear deck frame views of protected countryside, fall foliage, and winter glimpses of the lake, while a fire pit area invites evening gatherings, and a small, fenced yard offers a safe space for pets. Mechanicals match the design: Hi-Velocity heating and cooling, radiant floors in the primary bath, lower level, and garage, a permanent generator, and a septic system designed for four bedrooms. Dream Lodge: 1.39 acres, a permanently protected conservation easement, deeded lake access, and the Skaneateles school district, with country privacy to spare.
