Our large B&B-like house sits on a knoll overlooking Keuka Lake with an extraordinary view, especially at sunset. We have 120 feet of lake front with a large beach with a dock, table, chairs, fire pit and an excellent swimming area.
The house is nearly 2,000 square feet. We added two bathrooms (2.5 total) as well as a laundry room. The well-equipped kitchen has been recently remodeled.
Our house sits above the lake. To get to our lakefront and beach area, you walk down the driveway, cross East Lake Rd. and then walk down a wide path to the lake. East Lake Rd. is an access road, 1.5 miles long. It's a beautiful walking or biking road, with little traffic.
The front of the house is a covered porch with Adirondack chairs and a teak dining table. There is also a covered flagstone patio off the driveway.
There are three bedrooms and two full bathrooms upstairs, including a 225-square-foot main bedroom with new drywall. All three bedrooms have lake views as well as air conditioners. There are queen mattresses in two bedrooms. The third bedroom has a queen and two twin beds. We have two roll-away beds and a full-size, memory foam floor mattress. The den downstairs can be closed off and has a full-size sofa bed. There is a new half bath and separate laundry room on the first floor.
We offer great offseason rates for our 4-season home. We are near numerous wineries, most of which stay open on weekends through the winter. In the spring you can often hear the sound of the creek flowing at the edge of our property. In the fall, the color around the lake is spectacular into early November. In the winter, our house has central heat and a gas-burning fireplace in the den. The view out our new picture windows is fabulous. We are less than an hour from Bristol Mountain Ski Area.
From our covered porch you can enjoy the ever-changing light off the lake. You can walk or bike the access road in front of our house, perhaps hiking up one of canyons into the hills above the lake, to some extraordinary waterfalls. You can walk or bike the trail that connects Keuka and Seneca Lakes. Or fish -- the area near our house is known as one of the best bass fishing areas in the Finger Lakes.
