Originally part of the grand O'Brien Estate (1912), this classic Saranac Lake cottage (1925) is perched on a secluded hill with glimpses of Lake Flower below. This four bedroom, two-bath home retains many of its original details including high ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, bay windows, French doors, and hardwood floors. Off of the kitchen is a living room, dining room, bedroom, full bath, and two windowed porches. Upstairs are three charming bedrooms and a half bath. On half an acre with an impressive stone wall at its entrance, this carefully updated property would make an ideal year round or vacation home.
