Inside the main property, the great room stops you in your tracks with its soaring ceilings, polished concrete floors with radiant heating, and a sleek Danish Rais woodstove, both of which add to the warmth and architectural character. The open layout creates a connected, easy flow for entertaining or unwinding, with that radiant heat throughout and 8 heating zones to keeps the home cozy year-round. A flexible first-floor office or guest bedroom, along with a full bath, adds versatility for work, play, or visitors. Upstairs, a lofted landing leads to the serene primary suite, with a Jack and Jill bath leading to an additional bedroom/office—both offering treetop views and a sense of calm. The wood accents and tall ceilings keep these rooms feeling both airy and upstate luxurious. Step outside and the magic continues and the lifestyle really opens up. The extensive bluestone patio, which connects to the dining room, is the heart of outdoor living with total privacy. The land across a seasonal stream is part of your property so that view will always be beautiful. That patio seamlessly connects the main to a separate newly renovated1 bed/1 bath guesthouse with a cedar sauna and dedicated outdoor kitchen + patio. Whether you're hosting friends, offering space for short-term rental guests (yes, HOA allows it but always check yourself as well!), or creating your own wellness retreat, this guesthouse is one of those spaces that instantly feels like home. A small workshop and two-car carport (which can easily be converted to a garage) make up the other part of the guesthouse building. Paths meander through mature plantings, a fully fenced garden (ready for your garden dreams or future pool plans), and extra parking for your boat—because here, lake life is part of the story, but on your own private terms. You get all the perks of being in a lake community without the lack of privacy, noise, and premium pricing of being directly on the lakefront. And when you're ready to dip into the community? Sleepy Hollow Lake's robust amenities are just a stroll away—tennis courts, pickleball courts, basketball, bocce, baseball/softball field, a golf driving range, and a private campground for residents. The community lodge is the hub for year-round events and gatherings, while the lake itself offers swimming, kayaking, boating, and fishing. They take care of snowplowing up to your driveway and have regular security who are EMT certified.
