~ Dreamy, Year 'Round 3bed/2bath Otsego Lake Front Cottage ~

This little jewel box was built in 1902 and used exclusively by the same family as a seasonal home until 2019. 117 years later, it was purchased and completely renovated, sparing no expense. Favorite features of this property are its level access from the road to the house and lake ~ a rarity on Glimmerglass! A small tranquil stream runs along the north boundary, and is flanked by pretty flower gardens. The property juts out to a point, where the stream and lake converge. Here you'll enjoy spectacular panoramic lake views of our glistening waters, Sleeping Lion Mountain, farmlands & mountains to the east as well as long views to the south. A rustic fire pit at the point serves as a lovely end of day spot to unwind and gather with friends. The home has undergone a total transformation, while retaining many of the special original features, harmoniously blending old with new. Enjoy lazy lake days ~ coffee on the porch at sunrise, cool your feet in the water after sunning on the deck, cocktails on the dock at dusk, dinner al fresco or boat into town, a fire at the point, and a soak in the hot tub at days' end. A LIFESTYLE one can get used to! An efficient kitchen with creamy white cabinets & brick-tiled backsplash, opens to the dining room, formal entry, & living room, and packs plenty of storage. A deep apron sink is outfitted with solid brass fixtures. Counters are Ceasarstone Quartz in a milky white with subtle gold streaks. Beautiful Cafe' appliances (dual fuel oven/range, convection microwave oven, 3 tier dishwasher, & counter-depth pantry style refrigerator/freezer), unify the space. The rustic tiled floors are radiant heated on their own zone, and a sunny skylight along with new recessed & pendant lighting on dimmer switches, set a warm ambient tone. A spacious island/counter bar, provides lots of room for meal prep, and ample space to lay out your appetizers, making entertaining a breeze! New Anderson sliding doors in the living room are flanked by original windows with pretty stained glass, and lead to the covered porch where you can enjoy the outdoors in any weather! A 3-sided Lopi fireplace runs off a thermostat and heats the entire home. All windows are new Andersons (most are tilt-in), customized with brass lock mechanisms. The downstairs bedroom has an exposed beam ceiling, original wood floors, and original doors with a south facing lake view and a new en-suite full bath with heated laminate flooring, new shower enclosure, vanity, awning window, and efficient flush toilet. The original staircase remains in tact. Only its treads were refinished and a runner was added. At the top of the stairs you'll be greeted with breathtaking lake views through new 12 x 6 sliding Marvin windows which were added to the room. The primary bedroom is a spacious room with high ceilings, ceiling fan, its own gas fireplace and mirrored closet doors reflecting the lake. Original floors remain throughout the entire 2nd floor. The other second floor bedroom is storybook sweet with two windows, small closet, a knotty pine feature wall painted navy blue, and has south-facing lake views. The upstairs bath blends old with new ~ the original oversized porcelain tub with custom frameless glass shower enclosure, new vanity, original knotty pine and bead board walls along with a custom fit wall mirror, a fun chandelier & sconce wall lighting.
