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!
