Description

An exceptional acquisition opportunity within the core of the Village of Skaneateles. Offered for the first time in nearly three-quarters of a century, this 1880 Victorian estate represents an irreplaceable legacy footprint on coveted West Lake Street.

Positioned on a manicured 0.28-acre village parcel, the property features a traditional timber frame structure spanning 2,666 square feet across an expansive 13-room floor plan. The upper level provides 4 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, while the primary level features an inviting flow with a convenient half bath, multiple living spaces, and a fireplace. A detached two-car garage offers excellent on-site storage.

Complete with highly coveted, private lake rights providing direct access to the pristine waters of Skaneateles Lake, this property serves as a premier canvas for an architectural masterpiece, historical preservation, or a significant luxury portfolio expansion. Situated just steps from the village’s elite dining and boutique shopping districts, this is a rare chance to secure a generational foothold in one of the region’s most exclusive enclaves.

* Lot dimensions are approximate and reflect combined parcel footprints. Delayed negotiations begin on 7/20/26 @ noon.
