Dean Lake House

"Wow" - is usually the first word from guests when they experience the beautiful view of Seneca Lake from the deck of Dean Lake House.   This charming home, built in the 1880's, has been upgraded to include all the modern conveniences - and it sits on 300 feet of Seneca Lake frontage! Relax on the expansive 70-foot deck with lakefront views.  Enjoy the hot tub, gas grill, outdoor seating and dining for 10, or explore the lake with kayaks and a canoe.  Fish or swim off the private dock. 

Inside, this 3-bedroom, 3-bath home sleeps up to 10 using the bedrooms and 3 queen-size sofa beds.   There's plenty of room to spread out in this 2,800 sq. foot home.   A full kitchen with appliances and dishes to handle 10 guests, dining room with bay windows, beautiful living room with lake view windows, a library room with lots of books and games for rainy days, a downstairs den which could double as a 4th bedroom, and a rec room which leads right out to the huge deck! 

The new owners have upgraded throughout the house.  Full house Wi-Fi, Roku TVs in all 3 bedrooms plus living room and downstairs den, central air conditioning, new hot tub, new stove, microwave, dishwasher and an EV charger in the 2-car garage. All 3 bedrooms have been upgraded to 5-star rated 12" memory foam mattresses.   The recreation room downstairs has been upgraded to include a refrigerator, microwave, sink, and counter space to stage your outdoor dining on the deck!  The rec room also features an air hockey game and cornhole board for outdoor fun.   And we think it's a unique feature...a slow-moving freight train passes right in front of the home several times a week during daytime hours.   The train goes about 5 mph on its run to the salt mine up the road.    

The home is the perfect spot to just relax or to start your daily adventures.    Facing east, the deck or dock provide great spots to catch the sunrise in the morning with your cup of Finger Lakes Roasters coffee!  You are less than 1/2 mile to the village of Watkins Glen. You're also near the Watkins Glen racetrack. and the amazing Watkins Glen State Park (#1 attraction is to 'hike the glen' and see the waterfalls and pools in this glacier-carved valley).   There are over 140 world-class wineries in the Finger Lakes - some just a mile or two away.  The house is close to the Corning Glass museum, the Glenn Custis aviation museum, Cornell University, Seneca Falls - the home of the Women's Suffrage movement, and much more.
