This lake front chalet looks like it could be in the mountains of Vermont or Colorado but it's here on Lake Hopatcong, less than one hour from NYC. It's filled with character from the top to the bottom, and for those looking for a home with high beamed ceilings, stone fireplaces, privacy and great views, your search is over. Let's begin with the privacy. As you can see from the photos, the house can barely be seen from the water. Mature tree provide not only shade on those long summer days, they also make for a secluded outdoor environment for when being by yourself is considered a virtue. The two outdoor decks are not just private. They are graced by some of the most beautiful lake views anywhere. Long views across the water to the mountains make the days' troubles melt away. At the waters' edge are two docks. And although this is a very private setting, the main lake location offers deep water and great swimming. Inside, this is every bit a chalet style home. The A-frame architecture exudes a warm feeling that says welcome home. Combine this with authentic wood trim, twenty foot high ceilings and a massive stone fireplace and you have a country home that perfectly compliments the relaxing, forget about work lifestyle that creates family traditions. Often times a tradition handed down through the generations. Maybe similar to a romantic hideaway that your grandparents once spoke of, or maybe to stir memories of a ski lodge where you once spent a weekend with friends. If you do invite guests to stay overnight, the three full baths help to make everyone feel comfortable, and morning coffee by the fire will never be forgotten. Utilities include city water and sewer, bringing modern conveniences to an old fashioned lifestyle. If these features sound appealing, wait until you see them for yourself.
