Rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully designed year-round waterfront retreat on private, spring-fed Babcock Lake. Custom built in 2015 and offering over 3,300 finished sq ft including the lower level with ground-level windows and Bilco door access, this contemporary home blends modern comfort with the peaceful lifestyle that makes lake living so special. Set on 50 feet of waterfront with a dock, sitting area and easy access to the water, membership in Babcock Lake Estates provides access to a private beach and community amenities on one of the Capital Region's most unique non-motorized lakes. Inside, the open floor plan is filled with natural light from Andersen tilt-and-wash windows and anchored by a dramatic great room with 9 ft ceilings and a sunroom with cathedral ceilings, 5.25'' hickory hardwood floors and a true masonry fireplace converted to propane. The kitchen was designed for gathering with Bertch hickory cabinetry, stainless appliances, black granite counters and a striking river rock granite island with seating. The lake-facing primary bedroom sits just off the beautifully tiled main bath featuring a large walk-in shower, while the finished lower level offers exceptional additional living and sleeping space with 8' ceilings, garden level windows and a wood stove with brick hearth. Outdoor spaces are equally impressive with wraparound Trex decking overlooking the lake and surrounding natural beauty. Additional features include central air, zoned forced air heat, Rinnai on-demand hot water, whole-house generator, well and septic, Spectrum internet for remote work capability, and an oversized detached heated garage with workshop space, walk-up attic storage and attached carport. Located within easy reach of the Capital Region, Vermont and Massachusetts, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy four-season lake living with kayaking, swimming, fishing, hiking and year-round recreation in a private lake community surrounded by forests and mountain scenery.
