Two well-appointed bedrooms and one full bathroom extend off of the living room to round out the first floor.

The Grounds. A spacious screened porch begs for dining al fresco, and extends into a wraparound deck that offers fantastic lake views and hovers above idyllic perennial gardens. The private lake is accessible to HOA members and their guests only. This non-motorboat lake is ideal for paddle boarding and canoeing, sunbathing and floating.

Also for Sale: Magnolia Carriage House. The lake house is flanked by a charming carriage house, which is also available for sale. The two houses are situated on two separate parcels and may be purchased separately or together. There is currently a catwalk connecting the two, which will be removed in the event of separate purchases. See the Magnolia Carriage House listing for more information.

The Area. Centrally situated, this property is within convenient striking distance of key towns, like Livingston Manor, Callicoon and Narrowsburg, as well as hot spots like those featured in this Escape Brooklyn article. Convenient to the city and to outdoor adventures.
