PIER 382, located in the center of Syracuse Lake's prestigious North Shore, is enormous and comfortably accommodates up to 20 people. Many of the homes on Syracuse Lake's North Shore sit on a hill overlooking the lake, as does Pier 382. With the lake on one side and custom homes and beautiful Maxwelton golf course on the other, this is an ideal place for a walk or bike ride. The lakes boast an excellent set of walking trails around the lakes. Many residents have taken to golfcarts and the like to get around the area.
Built in 2004, this custom lake home has an inviting open floorplan that is so often lacking in older lake homes. The custom design also takes full advantage of its "terraced" lot or topography, providing each of its 3 levels with spectacular views of the lake. Over 6,000 sq ft of living space, 7 sleeping areas (6 Large Bedrooms plus the huge Dormer room with 8 twin beds), 4 Full Baths, 3 Full Kitchens. The main floor kitchen is enormous and very well appointed with virtually every appliance and accessory imaginable. It's not an over statement to call it "gourmet."
Pier 382 is the perfect destination for large family gatherings. The enormous great room w/cathedral ceiling and fireplace is often the center point for the day or evenings activities. The wall of lake side windows offers panoramic views of the lake, and the dining area is set up for large groups and is great for meals or games. Spacious main level balcony creates the perfect place to catch all the action.
Lower / mezzanine level could easily serve as a 2 Bedroom apartment, w/ Full Bath and full kit w/ breakfast bar, family room and private balcony. This area creates that "someplace else" to read, nap or just get away for a bit. There is even a steam shower. Just outside this area is the Mezzanine Balcony, which has an LP fire-ring in the center of a six person seating area with bar stools and overlooks the lakeside patio.
Lakeside patio has a new upholstered seating area, Adirondack chairs, lounge chairs and bar w/ stools and refrigerator. We just added a 2nd propane "fire ring" for lake side patio, perfect for those cool evenings. Plenty of room to sit, lounge or sun by the lake.
Syracuse Lake and the surrounding area is perfect for, swimming, boating, fishing, sailing, golfing or just relaxing. The lake is beautiful, the water so clean and clear you can see the sandy lake bottom and even fish swimming by from the balcony above. The lake bottom around our pier is very sandy and shallow out to about the 4th or 5th section where it starts dropping off to about 6-7 feet at the end of the pier. Our pier is a bit longer than most and guests are welcome bring their own boat or rent from local marinas, a few of which will drop off and pick up at the pier.
Syracuse Lake is connected to Lake Wawasee via a channel that goes under the rather low rail bridge on the south side of the lake. NOTE: Guests wishing to boat between the lakes should inquire first, as some boats will not fit under the rail bridge. Both of our speed boats fit under most of the year, but pontoon boats typically will not.
Syracuse lake is an all sports lake with lots of water skiing and tubing. Growing up we preferred Syracuse because its smaller size made it calmer than Wawasee. The North shore of Syracuse Lake is known for its meticulously maintained properties, many of which overlook the lake from a hill. (We like to think of it as the "better part" of the lakes....but we might be biased :) ...or... we might be right!
The town of Syracuse and the surrounding area are quite charming and offer a multitude of activities and attractions.
Pier 382 is not primarily a rental property, this is our family lake home, and we take pride in maintaining it at that level for both ourselves and our guests. All the bedrooms have new (fall 2022) beds and mattresses with quality linens. We have a great team of housekeepers that understand and maintain the level of cleanliness we and our guests expect.
