About 153 Lakeshore Drive

Mid century lake front retreat perched on the shore of the Swinging Bridge Reservoir, an 11-mile, motorboat friendly lake in Sullivan County. This fully updated, income producing home is light, bright and saturated with dreamy golden hour glow. The bluestone patio steps down to the lake, your private dock (with 78' of direct water access) and beautiful, natural wooded views. The sun-drenched open concept living area is relaxed, lifted by cathedral ceilings and a striking wall of windows that overlook the lake. The kitchen has easy flow, a breakfast bar, stainless steel appliances and Carrara marble countertops. The space is open to the dining area, a large table made for gathered meals anchors the room, then opens to the bright airy living space warmed by the wood burning fireplace. Three bedrooms (one smaller with bunk beds), an updated bathroom with a vintage claw foot tub, and storage-friendly foyer are all on the first floor. The lower level includes a spacious and cozy family room with a large comfy couch, a work from home space and a wood-burning stove. While the generously sized primary has charming built-in shelving, two spacious closets and en suite with walk-in shower and radiant heated floors. The glass doors walkout to the outdoor dining space with the fire pit, lower deck, water and sunset views in the distance. Thoughtful low maintenance landscaping adds ease and comfort while also feeling luxurious in an upstate way. Swinging Bridge, a dam-controlled reservoir community with no HOA, includes two marinas, community launches and a lakeside restaurant. This lake is 15 minutes from Bethel Woods Performing Art Center, Forestburgh Playhouse and dozens of trails in the watershed system - all just about 90 mins to the GWB. A full list of improvements are available upon request.
