Tucked into a gently elevated bluff on the coveted east side of Skaneateles Lake, this lake front retreat known as Teasel Hill is a rare convergence of timeless Adirondack spirit and refined, modern comfort. With 172 feet of private, crystal-clear shoreline and panoramic sunset views, the property offers an immersive lake front experience. Set on 1.27 acres and recently renovated throughout, the home exudes understated luxury with natural wood textures, soft neutral tones, and curated moments of lakeside drama. A massive sleeping porch spans the entire south facing façade, with windows that frame astonishing views over the water and cast golden light deep into the living spaces. Inside, the main level features a lakeview kitchen with an oversized island, a generous dining area for hosting family and friends, and an open-concept layout that flows into multiple gathering zones. It is perfect for entertaining or simply unwinding by the lake. There are four bedrooms, a sleeping porch and two full baths, plus a laundry room and air conditioning for effortless year-round living. The home comfortably sleeps 12 or more. At the shoreline, a rare concrete waterfront platform with removable seasonal dock provides seamless access to swimming, boating, or sunbathing. The boathouse doubles as a garage for watercraft and includes a rooftop deck that serves as your front-row seat to summer sunsets and stargazing. Across the private lane, additional land offers space to expand parking or construct a garage. Short-term rentals such as Airbnb and VRBO are allowed, making this a versatile investment property or legacy retreat with income potential. Whether you are seeking serenity or celebration, this is a place to gather, to savor, and to make lifelong memories. DELAYED NEGOTIATIONS UNTIL MONDAY 6/16 AT 5PM.
