Quiet and private on a heavily wooded lot, this lake house with a boathouse is a classic, well-maintained and immaculate three-bedroom cottage level with the shore of Seneca Lake, set back less than 50 feet from the shore.

This lake house has a large shale beach, a large parking area (accommodating 4 vehicles), both shallow and deep water for swimming, and a railroad tie breakwall. 

 

In addition to the privacy of our large yard, our property behind the cottage with the woods and stream extends back 300 feet along a gully that prevents others from developing the land behind the cottage.  With the lake on one side and the woods on the other, you will enjoy peace and quiet and the feeling of being surrounded by nature.  

 

Facing east, the front yard stays sunny through the late afternoon, but you can also sit in the shade of our many mature trees (a large willow, maples, firs, birches, a redbud and others). From noon onward the cottage is cooled by the shade of the woods and cliffs, and all day by the steady breeze off the lake.  

 

 This classic cottage features:

  • a decorative fireplace with electric heat insert
  • authentic pine paneling
  • wall of windows across the entire downstairs, 
        which can be slid open for the breeze
  • a full kitchen 
  • washer and dryer
  • open floor plan for living room, dining area and kitchen, with unobstructed view of lake
  • large flat and level grass yard
  • outdoor table, chairs and picnic table

   

 

 

 Also featuring:

  • all new beds and living room furniture
  • full insulation and electric heat (for cooler spring and fall nights)
  • boathouse, wooden row boat and two light-weight canoes

 

 

 

 

 

 

The house has been a non-smoking house for several years.

About Seneca Lake
 
The second deepest lake east of the Mississippi as measured by its depth below sea level, Seneca is over 600 feet deep and three miles across out in front of our cottage.  (Right in front of our cottage it is shallow a long way out, great for young children.)
 
At 38 miles long, Seneca Lake is the second longest of the Finger Lakes in Upstate New York, perfect for power-boating, fishing, sailing, swimming, canoeing, kayaking, sailboarding, and other water sports. 
 
(View north from the front yard.)
