This incredible home, built in the classic tradition with a cosmopolitan twist to the interior is one of the finest properties on Lake Chautauqua. Carefully maintained, it is nestled on a private drive with 235 feet of frontage, surrounded by mature gardens and manicured landscaping. This classic home is an effortless blend of informality and grandness, comfort and luxury. It has been meticulously styled to embrace the quality of todays lifestyle while bringing in the beauty of the outdoors.

Upon entering into the Grand Foyer, you have a feeling of relaxed sophistication. The tile floor resonates a warm feeling throughout the home. There is a smooth flow between the rooms, each with an incredible vista of the cultivated property, the lake and the surrounding hillsides. The Great Room has a dramatic brick fireplace flanked by handsomely crafted custom glass book cases. Opposite, light streams into the room through the wall to wall windows.

The state-of-the-art gourmet kitchen is specifically custom outfitted to provide several preparation stations for multiple cooks who can work while enjoying the beauty of the lake. The wrap-around counter is perfect for informal entertaining with an expansive seating area. The uniquely contrasting cabinets are a blend of oak with an antique black center island, bearing a vegetable sink, all with honed granite counter tops. Appliances include GE Profile ovens and refrigerator and a Jenn-aire 6 burner gas cook-top. The ornamental pendant lights add a spark of interest.
