I love this view of Otisco Lake! The shot was taken from the lake access that is deeded with the camp, looking across the southern neighbor's deck. The bits of white you see are most likely ice, still on the lake in early April. But there in the distance is that bluff on the western (right) side.
Sunday, April 26th from 1:00 to 3:00 I will be there enjoying the view from the deck and hopefully speaking with a lot of people who have come out for the open house. The price is now $125,000. Really? Yes, really! For a three bedroom home with new bath, first floor laundry, many many upgrades. Add to that Marcellus Schools and the access to the lake. (ML#S328023)
Our lake - I virtually grew up on it in the summer - is changing. The homes along the northwestern roads - Olanco and Glen Cove - are moving from small camps to incredible three-story year-round homes. My friends are selling their city and suburban houses and moving into one house on the lake. They winter in Florida - some - or commute to their jobs in Syracuse. Some work elsewhere - D.C, Connecticut - but come home to the lake.
A few of us are holdouts for the old way of life, and this place on Olanco combines the best of both worlds. It is a camp - woodstove (but with a furnace too), huge deck (and also a usable back yard), garage (under the house) and gardens (mostly flowers). The fire pit is set up way in the back for privacy and the view. It's small - really around 1300sf for the main floor with another 800sf in the lower level. The new homes are easily around 3000sf when all levels are counted. Ours is a paltry 1,000sf. And that's fine!
So come and say hello - share a healthy snack - hang out on the deck. It's camp, after all!
