About this property

This distinctive Wolf Lake home was built in the 1960s by a respected local builder as his own year-round residence, with materials and craftsmanship that set it apart. Wide-plank solid white oak flooring runs throughout the first floor, while knot-free Georgia pine floors the upstairs bedrooms. A full-height brick fireplace with a cast-iron wood-burning insert anchors the living room, with partial lake views from the first and second floors. The kitchen pairs original oak cabinetry with a new soapstone countertop and sink. Both full baths have been thoughtfully renovated with finishes selected to complement the character of the home, including subway tile, hexagonal marble floors, beadboard wainscoting, restored vintage fixtures, and an Italian marble shower. A slate-floored sunroom with skylights and two sets of French doors provides approximately 200 square feet of additional three-season space beyond the home's 1,500 square feet of living area. A flexible first-floor room is well suited as an office, den, or recreation space, and high-efficiency Miele laundry is conveniently located on the first floor. Outside, cedar-shake siding, copper gutters, Pella windows, extensive stonework, fern beds, and a stone fire pit create an established and private setting. The detached two-car garage includes a separate rear workshop and provides the kind of storage that matters at the lake, with room for vehicles, kayaks, outdoor equipment, tools, and more. A long driveway provides generous additional parking. Deeded lake access is a short walk away, opening onto a broad sandy shoreline. Additional features include 200-amp electric service, a generator transfer panel, a whole-house water treatment system, oil-fired hydronic heat, a twelve-year-old roof with 30-year shingles, and a wooded 0.61-acre lot backing up to forever-wild land. Located within Wolf Lake, one of Sullivan County's most sought-after private lake communities, the property offers access to approximately 1,800 acres of member-owned protected forestland, three spring-fed lakes, a community beach, clubhouse, basketball court, playground, and additional recreational facilities, all approximately 90 minutes from the George Washington Bridge. Annual association dues are $1,350, with a one-time new-member fee of $5,250.
