Set back from the road above Watkins Glen State Park, this home sits on a bright and welcoming private retreat surrounded by abundant flowers and trees, large flat playing areas, and a lovely pond for watching wildlife. The kitchen is central to life here: partially open to the dining room and walking out to the deck and patio in the back of the house, it has a surprising amount of counter space and is perfect for entertaining. The wood burning fireplace in the cozy living room is the seller’s custom artwork made with local stones from Lodi Point, worn smooth from the lake water. A door to the front porch extends the living space to the fantastic outdoors. Two bedrooms and one and half baths are on the main floor. Down the steps to the expansive foyer, to the left is a large third bedroom/studio with a door to the back patio. Also off the foyer is a 2 car garage, workshop, and a storage shed. Down another half flight of steps from the foyer, the basement has a huge workshop and a separate laundry room. This compact house has ample open spaces inside and out for a comfortable living.
