Perched above the tranquil waters of Kinderhook Lake, The Lady of the Lake is one of Columbia County's most unforgettable homes--a thoughtfully restored former church transformed into a design-forward retreat where historic architecture meets modern luxury. Rich with character and reimagined with an exceptional eye for design, this three-bedroom, two-bath residence effortlessly blends original architectural details with warm, contemporary interiors. With wood beams and natural light framed by peaceful lake views, every space has been carefully curated to feel both timeless and inviting. At the heart of the home, the beautifully renovated kitchen flows seamlessly into open living and dining spaces designed for gathering, entertaining, and slowing down. Every finish has been intentionally selected, creating layered interiors that feel sophisticated yet not overly fussy. One of the home's most spectacular features is the newly added screened-in porch overlooking Kinderhook Lake. Whether it's a quiet morning with coffee, an afternoon spent reading, or dinner with friends as the sun sets over the water, this space quickly becomes the heart of the home and offers a front-row seat to every season. The spacious primary suite is a true retreat, featuring a stunning ensuite wrapped in rich green Zia tile and private access to the backyard, allowing indoor and outdoor living to blend effortlessly. Two additional bedrooms provide flexibility for guests, a home office, or creative space, while the fully renovated bathrooms and laundry room complete the home's thoughtful redesign. Outside, landscaped grounds create a private oasis with a new retaining wall, and a charming pea gravel entertaining area centered around a fire pit Behind the scenes, the home has been comprehensively updated with a new roof by Phelps Brothers, a new high-efficiency propane furnace, a new electrical meter panel and wiring, new plumbing, and beautifully renovated kitchen, bathrooms, and laundry spaces, offering the perfect balance of historic charm and modern peace of mind. For those seeking an effortless transition, the home may be offered turnkey, including much of its thoughtfully curated furnishings, allowing you to begin enjoying lake life from day one. Perfectly positioned in the heart of Columbia County, you'll enjoy easy access to the region's most beloved destinations. Start your mornings at Morningbird or Broad Street Bagels, browse the curated shelves at OK Pantry, or spend an afternoon exploring nearby Chatham with favorites including Fiesta Café, Bimi's Canteen, and Stony Kill Coffee. Weekend brunch at The Bartlett House in Ghent, world-class exhibitions at The School by Jack Shainman, and the beloved Kinderhook Farmers Market every Saturday are all just a short drive away. The vibrant city of Hudson, with its celebrated restaurants, boutiques, galleries, and Amtrak station, is within easy reach, while the charming villages of Kinderhook, Old Chatham, Claverack, and Ghent offer endless opportunities for antiquing, farm-to-table dining, hiking, and exploring the very best of the Hudson Valley. Whether envisioned as a full-time residence, a weekend escape, or an exceptional investment opportunity, The Lady of the Lake is a rare offering where history, architecture, and elevated design come together in one extraordinary lakeside setting.
