About this property
Gorgeous lakefront home one hour away from NYC
Beautiful lakefront on Roaring Brook Lake, one of NYTimes 'top 10 cleanest lakes' near NYC. Fabulous swimming, boating, fishing, hiking and antiquing 1 hr from Manhattan. 3,200 sq. ft. on 1/2-acre; spectacular views from almost every room; a few steps to the water. Published price is high season: summer, fall & holiday weeks. Fee is 50% off - Nov until mid-May, excludes holidays. High season & holiday min 3-night stay, otherwise 2 nights.
The space
FIRST floor entrance w tiled floors, garage area with an extra full-size refrigerator and freezer. Large en-suite bedroom with five twin-sized beds plus small conversation area with additional sofa, enough for another person to sleep, lots of windows, carpeted floors. Full bathroom with shower. SECOND floor kitchen, new appliances, electric range, built-in breakfast table, tiled half-bath across from laundry area. Open living/dining space with fireplace, views of the lake, wall-to-wall carpeting. Family/entertainment room with hardwood floors, new t.v. with full cable service includes pay-per-view movies. THIRD floor owner's en-suite bedroom, new t.v, walk-in closet, full bath w bathtub. Two additional bedrooms have queen-size beds, new wall-to-wall carpeting, large closets and additional space for conversation, sitting, lots of windows and balconies.
Guest access
Situated on nearly 1/2 acre, with beautiful plantings, perfect for playing or enjoying lake views. Large wood deck with both a conversation area and a dining set. The 60" glass table sits 8 people, but there are 10 chairs available. The property is on a cove shared by one other house, and we freely share our dock, lake equipment and access to the lake with our neighbors. The cove has a shallow sand-bottom entrance to the lake, and on our side a large dock with sitting area, deep enough for a shallow dive off the end. The house faces west and gets great sunset views. The property has lots of trees in front and back and remains cool even in hot weather; although all bedrooms and main floor have air conditioners. The rear of the house faces the street with an uphill driveway with a garden on one side and open lawn on the other. WATER CRAFT, all shared with our neighbors: 1 sunfish sailboat, 1 double kayak, and 2 single kayaks. Lots of life jackets of varying sizes for adults and children. We also have a 12-ft. trampoline and a tree house.
Other things to note
Located minutes off the Taconic Parkway, Roaring Brook Lake is nearly 4 miles in circumference, with houses along its shores which belong to a private lake association. The lake has a few shared sand beaches for the residents of the surrounding streets; one very nearby is for children and provides a lifeguard. The lake is very clean and no motor boats are allowed on it, with the exception of electric 'egg beaters' for those fishing. Residents can use canoes, small sailboats and windsurfers, kayaks and paddleboats. The fishing is supposed to be excellent. Please note $150 cleaning fee, plus $30 for grill use.
