Welcome to Amber Hollow, where the lake appears between the trees, leaves stir in the breeze, and the earthy scent of fall drifts onto the porch. Days begin with coffee overlooking the water and wind down in the hammock as the porch lights cast a warm glow. Inside, colonial farmhouse charm carries through four bedrooms and two full bathrooms, with wood floors, granite countertops, and tile accents. A wood stove anchors the living room against a striking dark surround. Just beyond, the expansive first-floor primary unfolds with a striking wood ceiling, gas fireplace, and room for a sitting area. The patio door opens onto the partially wraparound deck, making it easy to step outside and linger. The grounds rise in three tiers connected by steps, from the home to a garage/storage shed with a concrete slab, then to an upper grassy area along Seneca Road. The separate rear deck off the kitchen provides another gathering place for dinner and conversation as evening settles in. Within walking distance, the town beach at Reichards Lake offers swimming and access for kayaking and canoeing. Approximately three hours from New York City, Amber Hollow is a place to put down roots or return to when you need a quieter pace. Currently used as an Airbnb, the home also offers rental income potential.
