About This Home

Perfectly positioned just moments from the Mt. Pisgah Recreation Center in historic Saranac Lake, New York--proudly recognized as an All-America City--this Adirondack residence offers a rare blend of privacy, comfort, and natural beauty. Set on 1.48 exquisitely landscaped acres framed by mature trees, the property is enhanced by abundant perennial gardens, fruit trees, meandering stone walkways, a garden patio with fire pit, and a charming garden shed with generous storage and room for a ride-on mower. An expansive Trex deck, complete with a dedicated gas line for grilling, creates an exceptional setting for outdoor living and entertaining while showcasing High Peaks views of Whiteface Mountain, Owls Head, and Lyon Mountain. Inside, 3,468 square feet of thoughtfully appointed living space unfolds with warmth, scale, and versatility. The home features four bedrooms, including a serene primary ensuite, and three full baths. Hardwood floors and a graceful railing lead to the primary suite, where a walk-in closet opens to a skylighted bedroom retreat. The primary bath continues the elevated feel with custom tilework and its own skylight. At the heart of the home, the open-concept main living area impresses with cathedral ceilings, a Vermont Castings enameled gas stove, stainless steel appliances, a gas range/oven, and a screened-in sunroom that offers a beautiful alternative dining space surrounded by the sights and sounds of the Adirondacks. The fully finished walk-out lower level expands the home's possibilities, offering a spacious living room, custom wet bar, office nook, exercise room with soft cushion flooring, additional bedroom, and full bath with shower--ideal for hosting guests, extended stays, or creating a private retreat. A heated two-car garage with an epoxy floor adds everyday ease, with additional space above that offers excellent potential for a wood shop, storage, or studio. This special property captures the essence of Adirondack living.
