12 Summit Ln, Carmel, NY 10512

Owner-built in 2014 and now on the market for the first time, 12 Summit Lane is a vacation hideaway of charm and ease in the heart of a long-established community built around a picture-perfect mountain lake. Just 57 miles from Times Square, but a world apart in feeling, the house is situated on .75 acres, with a croquet-worthy front lawn surrounded by old hardwoods and pines. A short walk takes its owners to the community's tennis and paddle-ball courts, swimming, sailing and fishing, miles of hiking trails, riding stables and summer kids' camp. Clean-lined and modern in feel, the light-flooded home is highlighted by a serene, 31' long screened-in porch that fronts the glass-wrapped main room. In summer, the windows bring the outside in; in winter the focus shifts to activities around the Dutch West wood-burning stove. An open kitchen, full bath and tucked-away primary bedroom complete the first floor. Up the handsome spiral staircase are a sunny, beam-ceilinged second bedroom and a smaller guest bedroom/office with a second bath, full-sized washer/drier and attic storage. This is a cozy gem of a getaway awaiting your touch. Please note that purchase requires membership in The Trail Club of Carmel, NY.
