Six private acresSmall horse barnDedicated first-floor officeThree-stall garageCedar sidingOriginal hardwood floorsNew windows

This 120 year-old 4 bedroom, 2 bath farmhouse sits on six private acres just beyond the Adirondack Medical Center and Lake Colby. Original hardwood floors, cherry kitchen cabinetry, fresh interior paint, along with the added mud room and newly remodeled upstairs bath blend historic character with thoughtful updates, including new windows, cedar siding, spray foam and blown-in insulation, and on-demand hot water. The exceptional west-facing sunroom captures beautiful afternoon light while a dedicated first-floor office offers ideal work-from-home flexibility. Outside, enjoy a three-stall garage, small horse barn, and direct access to the Bloomingdale Bog Trail, a favorite for hikers, skiers, and birders alike. Saranac Lake schools and amenities, Paul Smith's College, and the Adirondack Regional Airport in Lake Clear are all in close proximity making this a perfect property for those wanting acreage and privacy but not the hassle of a long commute.
