Time can stand still at one of Lake George's most distinctive historic retreats. Offered for only the third time in nearly 140 years, this extraordinary 1884 home sits approximately 100' above the lake on 1.3 wooded acres, capturing spectacular easterly lake and mountain views, unforgettable sunrises and beautiful moonrises. Inside, authentic character is everywhere--high ceilings, wide-plank floors, period furniture, fixtures, books and details that simply can't be recreated. A new kitchen and full bath bring modern comfort while respecting the home's history. The 4BR/2.5BA residence includes a primary bedroom with magnificent lake views and private deck--your own perch above Lake George. A classic claw-foot tub adds to the timeless appeal. Enjoy as a seasonal escape or explore the potential for year-round living. A recent survey outlines the possibility of subdividing an approximately 0.57-acre lot, with space for an additional 20'x40' home and potential separate driveway--creating exciting possibilities for a guest house, family compound or separate homesite. Follow private footpaths through old-growth forest to 117' of private Lake George shoreline and your own dock. The waterfront offers potential for a U-shaped dock with sundeck and waterfront cabana. Historic, private and nearly impossible to replicate--an extraordinary opportunity to own a piece of Lake George history while creating what comes next.
