Why they chose this property
We have been summer residents of Empire since 1988. It really is 'The Most Beautiful Place in America.' We love the town, the beach, the National Lakeshore. Empire Rose is a house we have admired for many years; we purchased it in 2011. We are thrilled to own it and be able to offer it for others to enjoy.
What makes this property unique
Empire Rose is in an ideal location: easy walk to the beach (five minutes), restaurants, bank (with ATM), ice cream store, quirky shops, newly renovated library, National Lakeshore visitor's center.
