Description

This chic 1930s jewel box of a home is back, beautifully buttoned up and ready to offer the perfect weekend retreat or year-round escape. With panoramic views of Putnam Lake as its backdrop, this enchanting property invites a slower pace and a sense of blissful tranquility, both indoors and out. Step inside and be transported to another era, where old-world charm meets the soulful allure of a Parisian artist’s atelier. A soaring cathedral ceiling and regal stone fireplace anchor the living room, while a dramatic wall of windows fills the space with extraordinary natural light and frames the ever-changing lakeside scenery. At just 957 square feet, this thoughtfully appointed home lives surprisingly large, with an inviting sense of space and an effortless, artistic sensibility. The primary bedroom captures beautiful lake views and is complemented by a sensuous adjoining office or lounge area, creating a private sanctuary for reading, working, or simply unwinding. Toward the rear of the home, a chic kitchen and dining area, an Art Deco-inspired bathroom, and a second bedroom complete the thoughtfully designed interior. The basement offers abundant storage, a new furnace, a new washer and dryer, and parking. With its stone walls and finished flooring, this versatile space also presents exciting possibilities for a studio, workshop, or creative retreat. Outside, the lovingly maintained grounds and double lot invite you to imagine the possibilities. The timeless stone-and-stucco exterior lends enduring character, while a side patio just off the living room provides the perfect perch for morning coffee, accompanied by captivating views of Putnam Lake. Ownership includes access to the private Lake community, where residents enjoy boating without motors, fishing, and the simple pleasures of lakeside living. Whether you're seeking a peaceful weekend escape or a distinctive year-round home, this property offers a rare opportunity to embrace a more relaxed and inspired way of life. Conveniently located approximately 60 miles north of New York City, the property is a short drive from the Patterson Metro-North station and the charming village of Pawling. Trader Joe’s in Danbury is also within easy reach, adding a welcome touch of everyday convenience to this idyllic setting.
