1741 Shady Bend Lane, Spafford

Your own piece of Skaneateles Lake: 70 feet of private East Side lakefront with lots to offer. Start the morning with coffee on the upper deck, where the lake stretches out in front of you, then follow four levels of decking down through the willows, past the landscaped waterfalls, to your own dock and stone beach. The decks make room for quiet mornings, long dinners with the water at your feet, and evenings under the string lights. The lake's clarity is something you notice the moment you step onto the dock, and it sets the tone for every swim and paddle. Mature trees, shrubs, and perennial gardens, all lake friendly landscaping, frame the setting. Together, the main house and the bungalow, a garage converted in 2024, offer four bedrooms and three and a half baths. In the main house, picture windows and sliding glass doors bring the lake into the living room and primary bedroom, and the kitchen has granite counters and stainless appliances. A half bath is upstairs, and the wood stove adds warmth on chilly nights. The bungalow offers first floor living, with a bedroom and full bath at entry level. The spa style bath has a steam shower, radiant floors, and a soak tub, and the bungalow also has a living area and a second floor dining deck facing the lake. This is a true year round home in the award winning Skaneateles school district, with the village a short drive away for dining and shops. Improvements include a standing seam metal roof, electrical upgrades, foundation work, and an updated water system. From summer days on the water to crisp fall afternoons at the shoreline, this is lake living in every season.
