Incredible spot with elevated broad, majestic westerly views of the Lake & Adirondacks. Possibilities abound. Opportunity for a family compound? Currently a charming seasonal 4 bedroom cottage is on the Northern lot, which could remain & then build a year round house on the adjacent lot, or tear down & build one residence permitted for up to 6 bedrooms on the 2 lots. Expand the cottage and make year round? The removal of a closet in the cottage, reduces the number of permitted bedrooms to 3, allowing a 3 bedroom primary or seasonal residence next door on the vacant, southern lot. Deeded Right of Way to shared steps to lake are approx. 10-15 ft south of southern boundary of the combined lot. The 2, individual 125’ wide lots, give you some elbow room, while the 250’ wide parcel (2 lots combined) is sublime! (The one lot is 1.74, acres, the other lot is 1.84 acres= =3.58 total acres) Combined with mature landscaping, evergreens, cedars, relative privacy already exists. At considerable expense, sellers brought water line in from West Shore Rd to location on the west side of parallel dirt drive for future hook up for a to be built home and the cottage. Cottage will come furnished as-is, with a few exceptions-Unless buyer/s prefer it to be unfurnished. Cottage rented from April 1- to October 31 for $15,000/yr. for past few years. Motivated Sellers!
