Finger Lakes Charm: Summer Vibes & Year-Round Comfort!
Come experience the perfect lifestyle in Willard, a charming community on the east side of Seneca Lake. While this location shines brightest in the summer, this immaculate 5-bedroom, 2-full-bath home is a solid, welcoming year-round residence. Extensive remodeling from top to bottom blends historic craftsmanship with modern comfort. Known locally as the "Eat, Pray, Love" house, it sits between a beautiful church and a beloved local eatery.
Inside, this sturdy home provides a bright and cozy sanctuary for all four seasons. The front porch leads to a living room with gleaming hardwood floors and large windows. Nearby, the formal dining room showcases original woodwork and gorgeous built-ins. The spacious kitchen features excellent storage and brand-new appliances, opening to a rear porch and a private, fenced backyard perfect for summer barbecues or crisp autumn nights.
The location offers the ultimate mix of lakeside leisure and convenience. You can walk down to the water at the quaint local park or hop on your bike to ride along the old railroad trail all the way into Sampson State Park. Situated right in the middle of premier Finger Lakes Wine Country, you are surrounded by world-class vineyards and dozens of fresh, locally grown food stands offering the best seasonal harvests.
The flexible layout offers a main-level full bath and a bedroom with a cozy window seat. Upstairs, you will find four additional bedrooms, including one with its own sunlit window seat. The standout upper suite features a full bath, a dedicated laundry room, and an open-air deck to enjoy lake breezes.
