Welcome to your own private Adirondack retreat! With more than 5,000 square feet of living space, 3 bedrooms (2 more rooms currently used as bedrooms on lower level), and 3½ baths, there is plenty of room to gather with family and friends. Tucked away on more than 8 beautifully wooded acres of hardwoods and pine, this custom-built home offers the perfect blend of comfort, character, and privacy--while keeping you just minutes from some of the Adirondacks' most sought-after destinations. The open floor plan, spacious rooms, beautiful hardwood floors, and custom millwork create a warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout. The well-appointed kitchen features granite countertops and stainless steel appliances and opens naturally to the dining and living spaces. Step outside from the dining room onto the oversized deck and adjoining screened-in porch, where you can relax, dine, or gather around the firepit while taking in the peaceful, park-like setting. Professionally landscaped grounds, mature trees, beautiful plantings, and abundant privacy make every season special. The finished lower level adds even more space to enjoy, with a large gym, billiard room, and a walkout to an oversized 2-car garage with additional space. Wander the property's wooded trails, enjoy more than 200 feet along a peaceful brook, or follow the deeded trail to the renowned Ausable River for memorable trout fly-fishing. Additional amenities include a large Amish-built shed, paved driveway, whole-home generator, and dedicated 500-gallon propane tank. This tranquil escape is only 8 minutes from Whiteface Mountain Ski Center and 22 minutes from Lake Placid's shops, restaurants, and year-round activities. Located in the low-tax Lake Placid School District, this exceptional property is equally suited to a full-time residence, family getaway, or income-producing vacation home. Come experience the privacy, beauty, and Adirondack lifestyle this special property has to offer--you may never want to leave.
