Property Description

Available for the first time in over 55 years, this iconic lakefront estate offers an extraordinary combination of privacy, elegance, and natural beauty. Positioned on 3.4 deeded acres with over 600 feet of shoreline on the pristine, spring-fed waters of Crystal Lake, the east side of the lake enjoys panoramic sunset views and a direct line of sight to Elkview Country Club across the water– a classic course designed by legendary architect Donald J. Ross.The main residence offers 4,018 sq ft of living space, including 3 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. Built in 1952, the home blends Neoclassical Revival architecture with Mediterranean flair, featuring a white brick exterior, concrete tile roof, and a grand ironwork front door. A sweeping circular staircase with brass railing serves as a central design element, surrounded by hardwood floors, high ceilings, and a circular family room with expansive lake views. The living room is anchored by a white Italian marble fireplace, with matching marble window sills throughout.An inviting bar and entertaining room pays homage to the owners’ love of the outdoors with pine paneling and local wildlife decor. The screened porch opens to a bluestone sidewalk that leads to the boathouse.The estate is approached via a stately 150-foot driveway flanked by two masonry pillars. Elevated slightly above both the road and the lake, the home enjoys enhanced privacy and sweeping views.A separate 672 sq ft boathouse, built in 1989, includes a full kitchen, bath, open-concept living and dining area, and a 275 sq ft deck overlooking the lake.Crystal Lake is a private, glacial, spring-fed lake covering approximately 180-190 acres with depths reaching up to 86 feet. Located in a peaceful rural setting, the lake permits both motorboats and personal watercraft. The property is just 2.5 hours from New York City and Philadelphia, and only 9 miles from Elk Mountain Ski Resort, making it a rare year-round retreat.
