About this property

GORGEOUS Waterfront Home w/Huge Flat Yard, AMAZING VIEWS, Wine Trail

Beautiful 5* home on Seneca lake, with an unbelievable lake view from the large 235' flat waterfront property. A small 15 mph lakeside road is quiet and convenient for walking to the nearby 2 restaurants for food and/or drinks, as well as a great waterside stroll! This completely renovated home is cozy and comfortable for a peaceful getaway from home for all seasons. Enjoy the propane fireplace & heat during cold winter months or large windows for spring and summer air. Central AC newly installed! All furnishings, appliances, and bedding are updated regularly. Hardwood floors.

Enjoy the huge landscaped flat yard for family gatherings and yard games. The gazebo is perfect for dining outdoors. Or spend the day relaxing sitting in the phenomenal, large 14'x16' pavilion with comfortable furniture and a hammock surrounded by flowers. Make your own bonfire in the stone 6' fire pit for an evening of relaxation with a beautiful view of the lake.

Enjoy two kayaks for water fun. Best rental around!

Chris thought of everything you could ever need. The house and grounds are beautiful and immaculate. Perfect location centered between Watkins Glen and Geneva with so many things to do a short drive away. The view of the lake is the best you will find. We plan to return often!!
