Modern Lake House on Secluded Cove with Private Peninsula

Located on pristine Crystal Lake this four-bed, four-bath contemporary home is the perfect place to relax with family and friends in all seasons. Warm-up after your swim, hike, or ski with a sauna that seats four comfortably. Take a short kayak or paddleboard to Oliver's Island for a picnic, explore the sand bar with the kids or enjoy the private swim dock in the cove. Local hiking is a paddle away at Bicknell Brook or drive 20 minutes to Mt. Cardigan.

A modern chef's kitchen withlarge skylights and a new outdoor gas grill provides complete cooking alternatives for any meal. A breakfast bar with two stools adjacent to the kitchen is a lovely place to enjoy conversation while cooking in the kitchen.

The ground floor layout is an open plan with a living room, dining table, and television area adjacent to each other. The space offers views of the lake and direct access to the screened-in porch where additional dining and seating is available. A propane Jotul stove is situated in the living room for fall and winter visits. A half bath is located on the ground floor and is easily accessible through the kitchen area. Laundry is also located on the ground floor adjacent to the half bath.

The ground floor master suite has a king-sized bed, 2-person jacuzzi tub, a gas-fired Jotul stove, and views of the lake and mature gardens.

The two second-floor bedrooms include two twin XL beds and a single regular twin bed. There is a full bath on this floor with a combination tub/shower. A large rooftop terrace at the 2nd floor should only be used for egress due to low railings.

The third-floor bedroom includes a queen-sized bed and ensuite half bath.

The second and third floors are accessed by a single spiral staircase.

The screened porch is an enjoyable place to dine or nap with an extra-long teak dining table that seats 12 and a futon couch and chairs. A hammock is directly outside the porch and adjacent to an 8' picnic table that seats 6 comfortably. The fire pit is directly in front of the porch between the lake and the house and clearly visible from the screened porch area. Seating around the fire pit is provided.

The dock area includes a ladder to access the water and nearby swim dock. No diving or jumping is allowed from the dock due to the surrounding rocky cove area. The swim dock is visible from the porch. There is a shallow sandy area closer to the shore for younger children to play. The shoreline is teaming with wildlife and fish nesting areas. The adjacent uninhabited peninsulas provide exceptional seclusion and privacy. (Please note the seasonal swim dock and floating boat dock will only be in place between Memorial Day and Columbus Day).

On the South side of the house, there is a paver patio with Adirondack chairs, a soccer net, room for corn hole boards, and the sauna.

The Point peninsula is on the east side of the cove and has a cedar swing with views of the swim dock, two chairs for seating, and nice rock outcroppings for swimming and kayak docking. Fires are NOT allowed on The Point peninsula.
