Description

Take a moment to enjoy the tranquility and charm of "Birchmere", the first home built on Lake Morey in 1887, and the only property on the lake that boasts a drive in boathouse. Built just feet from the waters edge, the sights and sounds of Lake Morey are yours to be enjoyed from the first floor wrap around porch, and lower level screened porch, both offering uninterrupted views of the lake, and views across to the Lake Morey Inn. The boathouse has plenty of space for a 19 foot boat to drive straight...Take a moment to enjoy the tranquility and charm of "Birchmere", the first home built on Lake Morey in 1887, and the only property on the lake that boasts a drive in boathouse. Built just feet from the waters edge, the sights and sounds of Lake Morey are yours to be enjoyed from the first floor wrap around porch, and lower level screened porch, both offering uninterrupted views of the lake, and views across to the Lake Morey Inn. The boathouse has plenty of space for a 19 foot boat to drive straight in from the lake, plus storage above for sailboats, paddleboards, kayaks, you name it! Built in the 1920s the boathouse has direct access to the lake, plus a large second floor living room with fireplace and private deck, perfect for overflow guests and summer fun. Birchmere has many charming features, nicely interwoven with modern utility - the forced hot air heat was updated in 2009 and the spring water has a new well pump providing delicious spring water to the home. The second floor bedrooms are accessed by a beautiful hand woven wood circular staircase, original to the home. Walking into Birchmere you feel like you have stepped back to a time when all you had to do was sit by the lake, listen to the gentle roll of the waves against the shore, and jump in the water to cool off on a warm summer day.
