A stunning ADIRONDACK STYLE home who's setting had
surely been chosen for the inspirational mountain views, with depth and
character, that draw people to this gorgeous region.
Overlooking Peaked Hills, Wyman Hill and Squaw
Mountain in the foreground, with Hoffman Mountain, Blue Ridge Mountain and
Spruce Mountain proudly standing behind, its hard to imagine a more
picturesque home site. Keep in mind, how many other sites in this region
were undeveloped in the early 1900's, yet this home was built here, a perfect setting
enhanced with easy access on a main route, within walking distance to the
Schroon River at Schroon Falls. Situated just over three miles to Schroon
Lake Village and of course the lake itself. It is also just a half mile to
River Road, a beautiful country road that follows the river, leading you
to Paradox Lake in the hamlet of Severance. A favorite quiet road for
a long leisurely stroll. Schroon Falls is a public access point where you
can put a canoe, kayak or float tube for a wonderful day float right into
Schroon Lake itself. Also, its proximity to the High Peaks Region
provides convenient easy access for hiking, climbing and a variety of winter
activities.
The home has been fully updated and is quite
attractive, in keeping with current trends of comfort, warmth, light, open
living space and a down to earth, unpretentious style. 2140 square feet with
three bedrooms and two full baths. Expansive outdoor decks to take in the
surroundings and fabulous views. Sunsets are also designed into the
placement of this home, visible over the mountains from inside and out. The
driveway wraps up around the back of the property and invites you in to
enter the modern country kitchen at the rear of the house with a bright
breakfast nook looking over the back yard for a mellow ease into your day.
If privacy, accessibility, fabulous mountain views
and a modern classic home that has stood the test of time sound attractive
to you, this home is a must see. You won't believe the color palate in
Autumn!
As a side note, the highest mountain in view,
Hoffman Mountain, was the first choice for the Gore Ski Center, protested by
the local population for the effects of increased activity in this pristine
location, the ski center plans were moved to the present location on Gore
Mountain in North Creek. This home benefits by keeping its original
unobstructed grand view.
