Williamson, New York
Renovated in 2004, built in 1887 Victorian estate, nestled on 5 acres of magnificent, Lake Ontario shoreline provides modern structural technologies while maintaining its historical appearance down to the last detail. This hidden treasure will provide tranquility and peace of mind for you and your family.
Throw large summertime parties or enjoy quiet moments to relax and sunbathe by this 20’ by 40’ in-ground heated pool with a magnificent view of the lake. The concrete deck is framed by brickwork walls, and a staircase ascending to the veranda. A loop-top wrought-iron fence completely encloses the pool area for security.
Step through the main entrance onto the Italian marble of the grand foyer, and be greeted by tradition, elegance and whimsy. Elaborate crown moldings and raised-panel wainscotting and doors are illuminated by period wall sconces and an elegant chandelier. A delightful mix of rope twist, twisted flute, and plain balusters line the grand oak staircase, and are capped by a lustrous cherrywood handrail.
Thoroughly insulated walls and ceilings are covered by insect- and fire-retardant cement fiber clapboard siding, and a Lifetime 24-gage standing seam steel roof. All interior walls have been sound-deadened, and all floor joists have been replaced with Silent Floor truss system.
The elegant kitchen features a spacious floor plan with plenty of room for entertaining. The custom cabinets hand-crafted in Tiger Maple with rare Crotch Mahogany panels are set off by the slate countertops and hand-etched backsplash and trim. The custom breakfast table enjoys a lovely view of the grounds sloping to the orchard and lakeshore.
The dining room has a textured tin ceiling, Murano glass chandelier, and ornate crown moldings cap this spacious dining room, which features a large table with matching buffet and china hutch, and chairs. Formal dinner parties will be as intimate as family meals with the gas fireplace.
In the living room you will find a rich Oriental carpet over gleaming hardwood flooring and the textured ceiling and wainscotting harken back to simpler times. Gather around the large ornate fireplace with original andirons and cooking pot arm, framed by the stately carved mantelpiece. Enjoy warm conversation, your favorite show, or a view down to the lake, while relaxing on the cozy furniture.
The chess room/study is a quiet refuge for reading, having a thoughtful game of strategy or relaxing with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine.
Master bedroom has large Anderson low E glass windows keep you cozy year-round, but open to catch the cool summer lake breezes. A crystal chandelier hangs from the plaster appliquéd ceiling, illuminating the bed and the lustrous hardwood floors. Ensuite bathroom has a full bathroom with italian marble floor, claw foot tub with air jets, double sinks and a shower.
In the second floor you will find 4 bedrooms, two full bathrooms and a recreation room furnished with Oriental carpet, sofa and large plasma television.
Three columned porches, one in the front, another one in the back and one in the second floor features a weathersealed wood floor and comfortable furniture. The northern exposure offers cool relief during hot summer days. The ones in the back command a view of the swimming pool, orchard, and lakeshore in the distance.
The house also has a central vacuum, newtone speaker system throughout, and WiFi access.
As part of the original estate, the ice house was built to store blocks of ice cut right from Lake Ontario. This sturdy outbuilding is currently configured as a kennel and extra storage space.

Great house, fantastic pool and grounds...we love this place for our annual reunion!
Great place to connect with family.
Pictures do not do this beauty justice. Amazing place, meticulous details the interior of the home as well as the landscaping. Pool is amazing, nice and warm. A party of 10 is not on top of one another, the house is huge and well set up for a large group. I hope to go again next year!!!!
The home was spotless and very well equipped with linens and kitchen utensils. The pool was used by all every day along with the boat house and kayaks. Beautiful Sun Sets and a location that allow us to enjoy: local restaurants, farm stands, wineries, golf and just a week of relaxation with FAMILY.
This is our 7th time at the property obviously we like it. Our family looks forward to this every year that we gathered from Philadelphia , New YORK CiTY DETROIT AND PORTLAnd or
The house is absolutely amazing! The details were kept with the updates, and it’s fun history and charm. The local property manager MaryLynn met us at check in and reviewed all the stuff about the house, the property and the local area. She was amazing during our entire stay and I’ve never had such a great contact at a rental before! There was a welcome basket with some local items (which were all very good). The pool was heated and great even with the breeze off the water. The fire pit was great for evenings and roasting marshmallows! My family had an amazing time, and we all agreed it is a location we would definitely return to again.
We enjoy this house and it’s views. Just a lovely home!
Fantastic estate style home...huge pool and deck... gigantic lawn and lakeshores location. Our 3rd stay and we'll be back!
This property is one of the best VRBO’s I have ever stayed in. Beautiful mansion, great furnishings, pool was 84 degrees. Everything was perfect. The grandkids liked the “fancy” house! Thank you Carleen for getting us the extra propane and the wonderful attention to detail!
We enjoyed a lovely stay. The property is beautiful and the pool was fantastic. The house is very comfortable and is just gorgeous.
Gorgeous, well- decorated home that manages to be homey and comfortable at the same time. Spectacular view of lake and property from multiple porches surrounded by lush landscaping. The pool tops it all with volleyball net available for the athletic and multiple lounge chairs for the observers. The entire package provides an elegant and enjoyable experience for all!
Enjoyed the family being together for the week.
The property was the real highlight of our trip. The lake is beautiful, especially at sunset, and the pool was great. Our extended family all had a wonderful time! Lots of farms nearby with fresh fruit and great local cider makers.
check in with Carlene was seamless, explained everything thoroughly. Family had a great time from kayaking on the lake to spending time at the pool perfect! Linens were better then expected. Family members went to the Women's Hall of Fame, Children's museums of play and the Erie Canal all located conveniently to property. Thank you so much for a wonderful week!
enjoyed our stay very much, would be happy to stay again. The property is very nice, the pool was beautiful (but not heated), Great space to catch up with family and friends. My only complaint was some of the cleanliness of the property. The beds all had fresh sheets and there were plenty of clean towels on hand. However there were hairs in the master shower when we arrived. Some pots/pans/bowls in the cupboards were dirty with dried food stuck to them. The oven badly needs a cleaning. Both the back porch and balcony were covered with dust, dirt or pollen I'm not really sure what it was but I had to sweep them off myself. It was not that big of a deal but if I am being charged hundreds of dollars in cleaning and service fees I do expect not to encounter issues like these.
