| Description: | |
| Lady of the Lake " is a charming and comfortable circa 1900 lakefront home with water views from every room. Facing south on 70 of clear, deep West Caroga Lake frontage, with a view of the vintage Ferris wheel and carousel of Shermans 1920s amusement park in the eastern distance, the lovingly restored three-season house is distinctively furnished with cottage antiques by designer/builder owners whose other home has been featured in interior design books and magazines including the current Summer 2009 issue of "Creative Home".
The light-filled first floor features an open-plan living room and eat-in kitchen with Brazilian cherry hardwood floors, painted pine ceilings, and wainscoted walls. With its congenial open floor plan, you can cook in the kitchen while laughing with friends in the living room, enjoying the fire, watching a movie or boats on the lake. Yet the thoughtful layout provides surprisingly private nooks for relaxing with a good book or a quiet conversation. A large, two-level screened porch spans the front of the house just above the lake, creating a spectacular waterfront great room with areas for dining, games and sleeping as well as relaxing in rockers, a glider and hammock. The living room's deep sofa, cushioned daybed, wicker chairs, and rockers face a stone-backed woodstove-fireplace and an entertainment armoire with LCD flat-screen TV with basic cable service, VCR, DVD and stereo with attachment for your I-pod, MP3 player or laptop computer to the indoor, porch and outdoor speakers. There's a piano, a vintage dollhouse, and a collection of regional guidebooks, cookbooks, children's books, fiction and poetry. Firewood, videos, CDs, games and art supplies are provided. There's high-speed WI-FI internet for your laptop computer. A farmhouse sink and decorative wood cookstove (for display and storage only) enhance the vintage charm of the gourmet kitchen, modernly equipped with butcherblock counters, dishwasher, self-cleaning Jenn-Air electric range, refrigerator with icemaker, filtered water, microwave, and all small appliances. It's well-stocked with good pots, sharp knives, handy gadgets, spices, condiments, cleaning supplies, attractive tableware and serving pieces. The kitchen's round vintage dining table seats 4-6, with tables for 4 and 8 on the porch. There's a picnic table on the deck, with a gas patio heater to take the chill off late-season evenings. An "outdoor kitchen" in the former ice house has a full-size refrigerator, counter with sink and filtered water, clothes dryer, and shelving for picnic and grill supplies, next to the brick patio with gas grill with side burner. The bright, mirrored, first floor bathroom has ample storage and a subway-tiled tub with shower. The sink with filtered water is set in an antique dresser with a secret treasure drawer for kids to find. Amenities include a hairdryer, magnifying mirror, first-aid kit and a selection of toiletries in case you forget something. An outdoor hot shower with views of lake and woods has a rain showerhead. Three upstairs bedrooms include a master bedroom with 5 lake-view windows, king bed and sitting area; a bedroom with a queen bed; and one with two double beds. There are also twin-long daybeds in the living room and entrance sunroom, and a double bed with air mattress on the porch. The beds have firm mattresses, comfortable memory-foam mattress toppers, down duvets, hand-quilted coverlets, fleece and wool blankets and a choice of pillows. You provide sheets, pillowcases and towels. Ceiling fans in every room including the porch circulate cool lake air. Custom lighting on dimmer switches ranges from Italian tole chandeliers and antique lamps to Japanese lanterns and a disco ball. Lovely vintage paintings of flowers, lakes and "ladies of the lake" hang on the walls. The waterfront is clear, deep and hard-bottomed, the 330 acre lake excellent for swimming, boating, fishing, and waterskiing. Furnished decks both at water-level and cantilevered over the lake have beautiful views. There's a private swimming raft with shade umbrella on the lake. A canoe, two sit-in kayaks and a sit-on kayak are provided. The dock has room for your own small boat. A connecting channel lets you explore East Caroga Lake as well. The grounds include a lawn with perennial border and hammock. A woodland hillside walk of 60 steps leads to parking above for three cars on a quiet lane. Country roads take you to nearby hiking trails that lead to hidden lakes and panoramic views from a mountain lookout tower. In the midst of gorgeous and historic countryside on the accessible southern edge of the Adirondack Park, Lady of the Lake is in close range to hundreds of lakes, trout streams, mountain trails, Amish farm country, the Mohawk River Valley; the pleasures of antiquing, museums, restaurants and attractions like the Baseball Hall of Fame, Great Escape and Howe Caverns; world-class music and dance seasons at Saratoga, Lake George, and Cooperstown; the thoroughbred racing season at Saratoga Race Track. It's five minutes to hiking and running trails, golf, restaurants, bars, gas, stores, laundromat, post office, chapel; 15 minutes to Gloversville, 30 minutes to NY State Thruway, an hour to Saratoga and Albany, a bit more to Cooperstown and Lake George, 4 hours to New York City, Boston, Montreal and Buffalo.
