This lake front estate offers a rare combination of a fabulous main lake location and extreme privacy. The home is accessed by a winding driveway and cannot be seen from the road. The driveway entrance blends into the landscaping and can easily be passed by if you’re not looking for it. When you enter you begin to realize this is something special. The main lake is directly in front of you and the views are nothing short of sensational. The panoramic views are captivating and the Lake Hopatcong Yacht Club is just across the water. These magnificent views can be seen from almost anywhere on this property, either inside or outside. While you’re outside, you’ll appreciate how much time, effort and expense the owners committed to a professional landscape design. From the blue stone terrace, complete with detailed outdoor fireplace, to the brick walkways to the varied greenery it’s magnificent. There’s even a bridge from one of the gardens extending to the second floor of the boathouse. A game room and outdoor observation area on this level make this one of the few boathouses with these features. Fourth of July of fireworks and weekend sailboats races will delight you and your guests. Down below a large boat well can easily accommodate your vintage Chris Craft, as it has done for years. Inside the home the original woodwork has been thoughtfully preserved, and the great room with high beamed ceilings, raised dining area and massive stone fireplace are light years from today’s busy lifestyle. This is a peaceful retreat where forgetting about your busy week happens as soon as you open the front door. A country kitchen is functional yet features up-to-date appliances including a reproduction classic antique stove. The verandah is just off the kitchen and the great room. The cool summer breeze flows through here and relaxing with a good book and a view of the lake is one of life’s simple pleasures. A game room makes for more exciting entertaining, with a bar, space for a pool table and a den area where guests can watch the action. The master bedroom is your private oasis with full bath, walk-in closet and another terrace. In addition to these features the owners have updated the mechanical systems and the home is connected to city sewers. These are only a few of the highlights of this tastefully updated estate. Call Chris Edwards to find out 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.
