Welcome to Five Gates, your serene escape on the shores of Seneca Lake. This spacious and beautifully designed 5-bedroom, 4.5-bath lakefront home offers the perfect backdrop for your next Finger Lakes getaway, with breathtaking water views, private outdoor living spaces, and modern comforts for families and friends alike.
Step into the great room and take in panoramic views of Seneca Lake through floor-to-ceiling windows. A soaring stone gas fireplace anchors the space, while plush seating and cathedral ceilings create a cozy, open environment to relax — whether you're sipping local wine by the fire, watching a movie on a rainy day, or gathering after a full day on the lake.
Just off the living room, the chef's kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and an island breakfast bar perfect for casual meals or catching up while dinner's cooking. A formal dining table makes shared meals feel extra special.
Down the hall, a main-floor primary suite offers a king-size bed, ensuite bathroom with jetted tub and walk-in shower, and private access to the balcony — a peaceful spot for morning coffee with a lake breeze. Upstairs, a cozy loft overlooks the great room and doubles as a quiet reading nook or extra sleeping space with a pull-out sofa.
Four additional bedrooms offer flexible accommodations for groups:
Second-floor primary with ensuite bath + shower
Queen + twin room with a private bath
Queen bunk room perfect for kids or extra guests
Lakeview bedroom with private balcony for added privacy
Outdoors, you'll find one of the best features of Five Gates: the spacious patio with seating, picnic table, and a propane firepit for stargazing and s'mores — no firewood required. A short walk leads down a stone stairway to your private dock and 79 feet of pristine lakefront. Swim, fish, or bring your own boat to explore Seneca Lake at your own pace.
