About 153 Lake Shore 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. The first floor features three bedrooms - including a smaller one with bunk beds, an updated bathroom with a vintage clawfoot tub, and a foyer with plenty of storage. While the lower level has the generously sized primary suite features charming built-in shelving, two spacious closets, a bonus room and an en suite bathroom with a walk-in shower and radiant heated floors. A stylish and cozy family room with a large, comfortable couch, a wood-burning stove, and a dedicated work-from-home space overlooks the lake. The sliding glass doors walkout to the bluestone patio, outdoor dining space, lower deck, and fire pit with the water and sunset views. 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, recreation areas, boat launches and a lakeside dining. The home is 15 minutes from Bethel Woods Performing Art Center, Forestburgh Playhouse and dozens of trails in the watershed system - all just 90 mins to the GWB. A full list of improvements are available upon request.
