What This House Offers
Property Id: 2813992
Set on 143 feet of pristine lake frontage, this beautifully maintained late-1800s home offers three bedrooms and two full bathrooms just…
steps from the historic hamlet of Essex. Original character shines throughout, from the warm hardwood floors to the striking double-door front entrance.
A thoughtfully designed addition creates an open, airy flow from the kitchen into a spacious great room, where oversized windows frame lake views and doors lead out to a deck made for entertaining, morning coffee, or watching the sunset over the water.
Walk to Essex's restaurants, tavern, shops, and library, or hop the ferry to Vermont just moments away. Marinas, a golf course, and pickleball courts are all nearby, making this a perfect basecamp for lake life. From here, Lake Placid is 45 minutes away, Montreal roughly 90 miles, Albany about 2.5 hours, and Boston around 4 hours — close enough for a weekend getaway, far enough to feel like an escape.
A rare chance to enjoy authentic Adirondack lakefront living in a walkable village setting.
