About This Home

'Tojenka' is a rare Big Moose Lake estate offering an extraordinary combination of historic character, refined upgrades, and exceptional waterfront privacy. Set on 3.4 acres with approximately 625 feet of shoreline on a small peninsula, the property enjoys one of the most coveted settings in the region, with sweeping lake views and a true sense of Adirondack seclusion. Thoughtfully updated with a careful eye toward preserving its original charm, the residence blends Victorian elegance with rustic Adirondack warmth. Recent improvements include new heating and cooling, added insulation, selected electrical and plumbing updates, and a beautifully integrated 33' x 25' primary suite featuring a service kitchen, laundry, and a luxurious bath. The addition feels seamless, honoring the architecture of the home while creating a private retreat of remarkable scale and comfort. The main level offers a newly updated kitchen, butler's pantry, additional pantry space, welcoming entry, and a sleeping porch. Four functional fireplaces with newly lined chimneys add warmth and character throughout the home. Two four-season sitting areas off the living room expand the entertaining space, while a 24' x 19' screened porch provides a stunning three-season setting for outdoor dining, lounging, and lakefront relaxation. Outdoor amenities include a tennis court, a new dock, and expansive grounds designed for both recreation and quiet enjoyment. A newly added four-car garage with 10' doors is fully insulated and heated, providing excellent storage for vehicles, boats, and Adirondack equipment. Many furnishings and property-maintenance items are included, allowing the next owner to enjoy the estate with ease from day one. With its commanding lakefront position, substantial acreage, extensive shoreline, elegant updates, and timeless Adirondack presence, 'Tojenka' stands as a distinguished Big Moose Lake estate built for generations of enjoyment.
