Keuka Lake Charmer! Special Home w/Gorgeous Views, Huge Front Porch & Summer Fun

Looking for charm of yesteryear with a clean, light and airy feel a lake house should have? Then this is it!

This house was gutted from top to bottom, inside and out years ago. It was redesigned and reconfigured to maximize the space without sacrificing its original charm!

Furnishings are clean, new or vintage chic. Great nautical decor throughout.

This is a lake house that would be one you would want to return year after year. This charmer has a HUGE front porch that you will never want to leave. It is a living room outdoors.

There is a unique large yard to play in, a zip line for the kids, kayaks and more. Read a book while relaxing on the porch, share a bottle of wine, or take in the gorgeous panoramic views of Keuka Lake, the rolling hills and vineyards. The way the porch sits gives you a panoramic view of the lake to watch the sail boats, kayakers, joggers, and bikers pass you by. You don't even have to be at the water to feel like you are there.

If you are participating in the Keuka Triathlon or Crossin Keuka races you couldn’t ask for a better location. All happens here.

Starbucks is a short walk away. This location allows you to take a walk, run, or bike ride safely. Take in the fireworks on the front porch along with many other traditions that happen on this end of the lake.

This home is featured on Escape Brooklyn blog as the place to stay in the FingerLakes. It has also been posted on Pinterest and other social media outlets.

The property has a very open floor plan. The first floor has a charming kitchen with a farmhouse sink, kitchen aid range, a small refrigerator, marble countertops, a single serve Keurig cup coffee maker, dining area, living room w/couch, chairs, tv above stone fireplace, large custom bathroom with walk in shower- bathroom has sliding barn door which can NOT accommodate a lock, and first floor bedroom with futon/couch/bed and tv. Enjoy your meals out on the spacious front porch. The porch is outdoor living room.

This is a special little gem! Come and enjoy Keuka in one of the only true cottage bungalows left on the lake which is nestled on a quiet residential tree lined street. Enjoy long walks and bike rides on this less traveled road.

First Floor bedroom includes a futon couch that is very comfortable (full size), tv and DVD player, ceiling fan and closet (board games and puzzles located here). Board and baton walls with shiplap and beams finish off this stylish space.

Third bedroom has 3 twin beds with a twin bunk bed in loft above stairs, dresser, ceiling fan, walk in closet and shiplapped vaulted ceiling with beams.

Upstairs consists of two bedrooms, second floor laundry, and a powder room. Original cottage had an open loft upstairs. It continues to have the open loft feel which we love. It now has two bedrooms but the bedrooms have NO doors. Openings to doors can accommodate curtains for privacy if so desired which are located in the master bedroom closet. Both bedrooms have large walk in closets that serve also as changing areas with drapes for privacy. First floor bedroom/tv room also has glass pocket door separating from living room. This room serves as a casual tv room as well as extra sleeping quarters. However, the door is not privacy glass. Views from every bedroom window of the beautiful lake!
