    Trex deckingSpacious detached garageFire pitTwo lake-facing covered porchesExpanded gardensExpansive lake viewsOutdoor shower
    Set on the shores of Lake Champlain in Westport, this classic Adirondack lakeside cottage offers privacy, charm, and generous waterfront living on nearly one acre. The property features 110 feet of sandy-bottom waterfront, four bedrooms, 1.5 baths, and inviting lake-facing spaces designed for relaxed Adirondack serenity. Two lake-facing covered porches invite relaxed mornings, expansive lake views, and easy connection to the water. The second-level porch, accessible directly from two bedrooms, creates a peaceful retreat for enjoying lake breezes and open views. Stairs descend to a pier that connects to the full dock, while a nearby common beach adds a welcoming community connection. Expanded gardens, walkways, a fire pit, and an outdoor shower extend the living space and make the setting ideal for summer gatherings and lakeside relaxation. Newly renovated, upgraded, and winterized, the cottage is designed for comfortable year-round use. Recent improvements include a new kitchen and appliances, brand new Diamond Kote siding, Trex decking, and a Briggs & Stratton generator for added peace of mind. In the living room, a stone, wood-burning fireplace adds warmth and character for cozy evenings with family and friends. The spacious detached garage includes partially framed additional space, offering flexibility for future living area, studio use, or storage. The house is coming furnished minus owner's personal items. Westport offers an extraordinary and genuine community feel with restaurants, coffee shops, marinas, arts and cultural offerings, special events, camping, trails, water sports, and mountaineering. With the High Peaks, Lake Placid, and Whiteface Mountain just a short drive away, the location supports both quiet waterfront living and year-round Adirondack adventure.
