Wow House: Lakefront Getaway in Cortlandt

If you want a bird’s eye view of this home’s 2+ acres and surroundings, start at the top in the cupola, which has magnificent views of the lake and mountains. If you want to be in the scene, sit on the deck at the water’s edge, soak in the hot tub on the terrace, or fish, swim or boat off the dock.

It’s no wonder the real estate agent wrote: “An idyllic oasis tucked away on a pristine lake one hour north of NYC. A perfect weekend retreat or year round family living.”

The living room, the dining area and the open kitchen are perfect for rusticating or entertaining. The master suite has its own balcony. With a library and family room, a second bedroom and a den/home office, there’s plenty of space for guests.

This property is listed with A. D. Preusser.
