This 100 year old stone lake front home with almost one acre on the main lake is now being offered for the first time. This is not a misprint. This stone lake front home was built more than one hundred years ago and has been owned by the same family for fifty years and has never before been listed for sale. It is majestically positioned on Pickerel Point, one of the best deep water settings on all of Lake Hopatcong. The wide, panoramic views are simply spectacular, and the water is deep. Swimming here is wonderful, and the dock can accommodate almost any size boat, either power or sail. The boat house is amazing. It's one of the largest boat houses on the lake, measuring 39' x 37' with a huge 31' x 12' boat well. The concrete foundation, steel lifting frame with two chain hoists, and two 28' x 12' interior patios offer endless possibilities. Simply put, a boat house like this could never be built today, making it an irreplaceable masterpiece. As you view the stone home, with exterior walls almost two feet thick, you can easily imagine the days when Lake Hopatcong was a playground of the rich and famous. The rooms are large, even by today's standards, and have nine foot ceilings. The original wide chestnut trim has been lovingly cared for all these years, and showcases the craftsmanship and painstaking level of detail that was a hallmark of the fine homes of yesteryear. Two wide sets of pocket doors grace the living and dining rooms, and three fireplaces add to the drama. It would not be surprising to learn that Hudson Maxim or Thomas Edison passed through these doors, as this home is a fitting place to have once entertained those captains of industry who were known to vacation at the lake. Or maybe they enjoyed morning coffee on the covered porch, as they discussed their latest inventions. As stated earlier, this has been home to the current owners for fifty years and they have never listed it for sale, until now. It presents a rare opportunity for someone to own a grand home with almost one acre of prime lake frontage on one of the best settings anywhere on Lake Hopatcong. These are just a few of the many details. Call Chris Edwards to learn about the others. Chris has been boating on Lake Hopatcong for more than fifty years and has extensive knowledge of the lake and lake front real estate. You'll be pleased with the results.
