Artist's rendering of the new home form the lake
Location: Kinderhook Lake, Berkshires, Capital, Saratoga, New York, USA (Near Tanglewood, Saratoga, the Catskills & Lake George.)
Accommodations: Cottage, 2 Bedrooms + Den, 2.5+ Baths (Sleeps 6)
Stunning,air conditioned, upscale cottage with 75 feet of lakefront property and a Landlord who lives to make you as comfortable as possible. Lovely Kinderhook Lake, a wonderful 375 acre lake, is as good for swimming as it is for fishing. The Native Americans called this lake "Great Fish Lake" and today it still yields, among others, Walleye, Northern Pike, Perch, and Bass. A private road leads onto our well maintained property which has been family owned for three generations.
*******************SPECIAL NOTICE********************************
THIS HOME is in the process of being framed for the 2009 rental season and there were times over the last 8 months or so when I thought it would never transfer off the paper to become a reality!
It is finally taking shape and I am very happy with the results thus far! It is exciting to see all the work of these last months finally coming to fruition. The new home will consist of 2200 square feet containing a gourmet kitchen, and ample closet space on all floors.The views from almost everywhere in this home, designed by a popular local architect, are going to be spectacular and the room planning was well thought out...there is even going to be an actual laundry room in the basement with windows and a TV .... including a spot to place the ironing board upright and leave it that way if you care to! There will be an extra "bonus" room in the basement available for an extra rental charge. Sofa bed, loveseat, television, plus a lovely 3/4 bathroom, 2 oversized windows and separate entrance define this lower level.
The kitchen with great views of the lake, will feature all the most up to date conveniences and small peninsula with 2 stools for watching sailboats glide by during your lunch. There will be a small desk area in the kitchen to work on your computer away from the noise of the rest of the house, but within view of a small TV and that lovely North end lake view again. The Guest Bedroom on this floor, with Queen bed is 12+ by 12 feet with an ample closet and views of the back field and birch tree behind the house. The full bathroom across the hall will feature a window, pedestal sink, and full sized bathtub/shower combination. These 2 rooms are located off the entrance hallway and with the glass pocket door at the end of this hallway closed, it will afford complete privacy for the sleepyheads on this main floor. The living room commands panoramic views of the North to South orientation of the lake which my returning clients have come to know and love. Now that view however, will be enlarged and improved with an Andersen Frenchwood Glider extending 16 feet across the West elevation with help from additional Woodwright windows. Turning the corner towards the North elevation are 3 additional windows. At the opposite end there will be a wall of stone punctuated by a propane fueled fireplace and 2 small windows.
Upstairs there will be a comfortable Library with built- in bookshelves and a private entrance into the shared Master Bath. The Master Bath will have a separate stall shower, soaking tub and TV, the adjoining Master Bedroom will enjoy his and hers 6 foot closets with a fireplace in between! The Master, measuring 15'5" by almost 14 overlooks the entire lake with 3 large windows including a Palladian in the center. One more small room upstairs is a sitting room facing south which will serve as a third bedroom when/if necessary. Otherwise it will make for a quiet retreat to read or take a much needed nap.
Close proximity to Tanglewood; Saratoga; SPAC; Hunter Mountain, Brody, Jimmney Peak; Lenox and Lee, Mass clothing outlets; Catskill Mountains attractions, many summer stock theaters and Lake George. You can visit President Martin Van Buren's house and Norman Rockwell's Museum in the same day, return to the lake, enjoy a cookout and one of the most beautiful sunsets ever! Only 2 hours 20 minutes north of New York City.
