From a screened sitting porch encircled by lovely trees, one enters through a short hall to a large bright two story living/dining/kitchen area with gorgeous mountain views exposed by a wall of windows and sliding glass doors to the southeast. A spacious loft for use by the younger generation overlooks the living room. The master bedroom and a bath are beneath the loft, off the entry hall. Downstairs are four more bedrooms and a bath.

The kitchen is compact and convenient with a counter separating it from the dining/living area. The many windows add to the cheerfulness of the living room. The floors and walls are natural wood and a woodstove has been installed for warmth on chilly fall evenings. On sunny warm days, sliding glass doors can be opened from the living and dining area to a deck that stretches the entire length of the building.

Of the four bedrooms downstairs, two have sliding doors to a lower deck that wraps around the building on two sides, allowing entry to the bedrooms without passing through the upper main floor of the dwelling. These bedrooms are under the dining/living area and have the same lovely mountain views. The two other bedrooms are larger rooms located beneath the master bedroom and screened porch. There is also a conveniently located full bath and laundry on this lower level.

This is a great location for people who like to hike, swim, boat or play tennis or golf. Many miles of hiking trails and streams are nearby and there is a friendly summer tennis and swimming club down in the village. Neighboring towns have good golf courses. A well-stocked village library, several good eateries and a variety of social and cultural events throughout the summer months add to the mix. Lake Placid, with its Olympic venues is a 20 - 30 minute drive and Montreal, Albany and Burlington, Vermont are not more than a two hour drive.
