80 Jim Bird LN Long Lake, NY 12847

A big year-round house, a real garage, 3.5 private acres, and 190 feet of Long Lake waterfront -- there is a lot here.

Built in 1992 by owners who intended to live here, the house has big rooms, lots of closets and storage, main-floor laundry, and a generous kitchen. There are three bedrooms and two full baths. Upstairs, space planned for two bedrooms became one large primary suite, with a full bath, large closet, and separate hot tub room.

The living room has oak floors, cathedral ceilings, natural woodwork, and a fireplace. The house was never completely trimmed out inside, so some windows and doors still need casing and trim, and flooring remains to be installed in a few areas.

Outside, a large deck wraps around the lake side of the house, with the water visible through the trees. The property slopes gradually down to a sandy shoreline. This is good north-side Long Lake water for swimming and boating, and a dock is included.

The house is well insulated, with a poured concrete basement, oil hot-water heat, public water with a heated waterline, engineered septic, a 17kW whole-house generator, and a recent roof.

The detached garage has two large bays, an attached carport, a second-floor workshop, and attic storage.

The house has also been carefully maintained. The boiler and generator are professionally serviced every year, and the engineered septic system is inspected by the engineer every three years.

The sellers will remove most furniture and as much of the remaining contents as reasonably possible, but the house may not be delivered completely empty.

This is a house built to be lived in, with room for people, boats, cars, tools, projects, and all the things that accumulate with a life on Long Lake. There aren't many properties that put this much house, land, garage, and waterfront together. Come see if this might be the one for you.
