REMODELED LAKEFRONT HOME WITH AN EXPANSIVE 1.7-ACRE LOT & 213 FT OF FRONTAGE ON PRIVATE FRIENDS LAKE--a rare opportunity to own on one of the Adirondacks' most peaceful and exclusive lakes. With no public access, Friends Lake offers a quieter, more private lake experience where days are spent boating, swimming, fishing and paddling from your own shoreline. Remodeled in 2017 and impeccably maintained, this character-filled home was thoughtfully transformed with new windows, roof, siding, septic, electrical, hot water heater, furnace and A/C with four-zone heating and cooling, plus a whole-house generator and an addition designed to embrace its lakefront setting. At the heart of the home is the gourmet kitchen with a large island, Wolf range, high-end stainless steel appliances, granite countertops and Restoration Hardware lighting, opening to an inviting living room with a stone fireplace and original barn wood beams. The dining area leads to a screened porch overlooking the lake--made for morning coffee, playing cards or doing puzzles, and laughing with your favorite people long after the sun sets. The first floor also offers a formal dining room, second living area with wood-burning fireplace, bedroom, full bath and additional screened side porch, with hardwood floors throughout. Upstairs, the primary suite features a gas fireplace, plus three additional bedrooms and a full bath. Walk-out basement space offers potential to finish. Outside, a sprawling lawn rolls to the lake with room for games, BBQs and evenings around the fire-pit, while your own beach and two docks invite swimming, boating and paddling. Lake life is just as special in winter--ice skate, cross-country ski or ice fish right outside your door, or make snowmen and sled on the lawn. Gore Mountain, New York's largest ski resort, is just 11 miles away, with Dynamite Hill even closer. Being sold fully furnished, all that's left to do is move in and start enjoying four-season lake life in the Adirondacks!
