Every room in the home has been carefully positioned to take in sweeping views of this pristine glacial lake known for its ''Glimmerglass'' appearance and surrounding rolling hills. Whether you're hosting dinner parties or the whole family, there is room for all to gather and make themselves at home in a unique and unmatched setting.

The first floor of the main house is a host's dream with spacious, sunny rooms that flow easily and invite you in. The grand double height entryway and open stairway welcomes your guests making the statement that this house is one of a kind. The generous dining room opens up to one of the centerpieces of the home - the sunny living room with its cathedral ceilings, large stone fireplace and tall windows. The chef's kitchen will certainly become the hub of the home with marble counters, a walk-in pantry, Wolf induction range and refrigerator, and the adjoining catering kitchen. French doors lead out to the stone patio for al fresco dining overlooking the lake. For a cozy evening, head down to the study which offers its own stone fireplace, more picturesque views and a perfect space for unwinding after a long day on the lake. On this floor you'll also find an inspiring office facing the lake (maybe for writing your first novel?) and a full bathroom for guests.

The second floor feels spacious and comfortable with its three bedrooms, two baths and laundry room. The generous primary suite has room for a king bed, sitting area and includes a walk-in closet and ensuite bath with radiant floor heat, shower and soaking tub. Up to the third floor and you'll find two more bedrooms with a lavish bath in between with both shower and soaking tub. The covered balcony is the ideal spot for morning yoga or taking in the sunset.

This home has been lovingly updated with renovations by a high-end local contractor that include creating a new kitchen, updates to all bathrooms, Restoration Hardware fixtures, finishing the third floor bedrooms, adding a new boiler, Marvin windows, hardwood floors, outdoor terrace, hot tub, gas fire pit, Tesla car chargers, and replacing the septic system. There is also a two car garage with a sweet and stylish one bedroom/one bathroom apartment with a kitchenette upstairs.

And just wait until you get outside to enjoy your expansive property with private lakefront access. Head down to the dock for a swim or take out the kayak or pontoon boat for a ride. Dip into the hot tub while taking in a sunset or enjoy lunch on the enormous stone terrace. If it's a hike you're looking for, the property connects over 300 acres of public land at Glimmerglass State Park (the home of Hyde Hall - a National Historic Landmark) and the Sleeping Lion hiking trail.

While nearby Cooperstown is known for the Baseball Hall of Fame, there is so much more this picturesque upstate town has to offer. For arts and culture, check out the world-class offerings at Glimmerglass Opera - just a canoe ride away from your private dock - as well as the Farmers Museum and Fenimore Art Museum. Dine at the historic Otesaga Resort Hotel or local favorites Blue Mingo Boatyard and Grill and Origins Cafe, known for its incredible menu and unique garden setting. For more recreation try the Leatherstocking Golf Course, Otsego Golf Club, tennis and sailing at the Cooperstown Country Club, or visit the state-of-the-art facilities at the Clark Sports Center. For horse enthusiasts, there is Oakstone Stables in nearby Fly Creek and it is an easy day trip to the races in Saratoga Springs. Less than an hour away are more charming towns like Sharon Springs, Hamilton, and Stamford. You are also under an hour and a half from both Syracuse, Albany, and Windham Ski Club and three hours and twenty minutes to the GWB in N
