Imagine a private year round retreat-- best described as an elevated ranch-- that backs up to a pristine & scenic Adirondack stream flowing nonstop, a soothing sonic delight to come home to... think of this as a sanctuary that is only a mile to downtown Lake George, Million Dollar Beach, dozens of restaurants, Shepard's Park, Historic steamboats, and more. Only a bit over a mile to Exit 21 on I-87. On a rare one acre lot with few visible neighbors, it sits further back from the town road than any other residence on the road. This property features expansive lawns, garden areas, two large decks, & a 45' wide paved parking area that will accommodate multiple vehicles & an RV or two... it feels like a hiddden rustic escape but on the edge of a thriving, world renowned tourist village. The covered deck in front provides access to the open concept kitchen/DR area, over 24 feet of floor space for family dinners & guests. There is another entry door on a left-side covered ramp to the back living room, and another entry into the rear year-round sun room which overlooks a canopy of harwoods & West Brook creek. Recent updates include new appliances, and gleaming wood laminate flooring. The larger of the two upstairs BRs is around the corner from the kitchen/DR, and the other BR is adjacent, with a recently updated full bathroom across the hall. Andersen windows in fine shape throughout the main floor. The full basement provides bonus space-- tiled floors are naturally cool on hot summer days. The large guest bedroom has sole access to its recent full bath and its whirlpool tub & glass shower, so owners may choose this as their own primary suite, or let guests enjoy it. Newer gas furnace & hot water tank are concealed under the stairs. A separate storage room, laundry, & workshop are also on this level. Ready for quick occupancy! Public utilities, gas heat, central air, a great sunroom facing south, and a deceptively large
