Perched on the shore of the 11-mile, motorboat lake - Swinging Bridge Reservoir - sits this fully renovated, lake front retreat with dreamy golden hour light. The recently rebuilt private dock provides direct water access with beautiful water and wooded views. <br />The open concept, sun-drenched living area features vaulted ceilings and a wall of windows that frame the lake, a wood-burning fireplace at its center. The kitchen has been updated with top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, Carrara marble countertops and opens to the dining area for easy entertaining. Down the hall you will find a foyer, three bedrooms and a bathroom with a vintage claw foot tub.<br />The lower level includes a spacious and cozy family room - think large sectional sofa and a warming wood-burning stove. The sliding glass doors lead out to the bluestone patio which overlooks the lower deck, private dock and unobstructed views of the mountains across the water - all west facing for incredible sunset. The generously sized primary has charming built-in shelving, plenty of closet space and an en suite bath with walk-in shower.<br />Every inch of this home has been updated - all major systems and appliances including the furnace, septic, A/C, roof, siding and windows, generator, hot water heater, oil tank and a new waterline all new within the past seven years. The property has been thoughtfully re-landscaped with minimal maintenance in mind. Currently operating as a successful short-term rental, the property has a strong income history. This house and property are easy and comfortable while also splurging on that upstate luxury feel we are all looking for.<br />The Swinging Bridge community has two marinas, a lakeside restaurant and currently does not have an HOA. This property is just 15 minutes to Bethel Woods Performing Art Center, Forestburgh Playhouse and dozens of trails in the watershed system. The property is a short car ride from all the trending towns in Sullivan county and just about 1.5 hours from the GWB.
