Description

SO MUCH SPACE on KEUKA LAKE! Nestled on over 3 private acres with 60 feet of rare, dead-level Keuka shale beach frontage, this gracious HISTORIC estate reveals its stunning connection to nature, blending classic charm with modern comfort. Inside, beautiful, original wide-board pine floors and soaring floor-to-ceiling windows—some adorned with the delicate ripple of antique wavy glass—anchor the home in its rich 19th-century heritage. The front living and dining rooms offer elegant spaces for entertaining, while the generous library/family room beckons with a wall of books, a warm gas fireplace, and a tucked-away full bath. A charming second staircase—one of the many signature details of this home’s craftsmanship—leads to the expansive second floor. A large office on the main floor offers flexibility as a potential first-floor bedroom or creative space. Circular flow from the library or office leads to a 3-season, glassed-in porch area that opens to the patio, which offers ample space for a large dining table, a grill, and even a fire pit. Picture summer barbecues, or cozy autumn evenings wrapped in blankets around the fire, the stars seeming closer than ever. Start your day on the lovely wrap-around front porch, drinking in the water views, and planning your next local adventure. Upstairs, three generous bedrooms are complemented by three additional rooms perfect for a home office, art studio, yoga room, or guest quarters—alongside a full bathroom to serve them all. The updated basement and mechanical systems provide peace of mind, whether you’re enjoying the home year-round or seasonally, including battery backup in case of a power outage. A newer Woodtex Shed adds practical storage for all your lakefront essentials. Welcome to pristine Keuka Lake with a convenient location near Branchport, Keuka Lake State Park (with the BEST boat launch on the lake), the Finger Lakes Museum, Keuka College, Wineries, and Breweries! OPEN HOUSE SATURDAY, APRIL 18th, from Noon – 2 pm.
