Welcome to 85 Water Street, nestled in the hamlet of Elizabethtown—known as the heart of the Adirondack Mountains. A perfect setting for outdoor enthusiasts, this charming one-level home offers a cozy and inviting retreat for year-round living or vacation getaways. Step inside to a spacious living room with vaulted ceilings, anchored by a beautiful stone fireplace with a wood-burning insert that adds both warmth and character. The home features a recently updated full bath with a walk-in shower, plus a newly added half bath with a sliding barn door. Original wood doors and trim throughout highlight the home's timeless charm.
This property is well-suited for short-term rental opportunities with excellent access to hiking and mountain biking trails, as well as golf and cross-country skiing at nearby Cobble Hill Golf Course. Enjoy relaxing mornings or evenings on the covered front porch, taking in the peaceful surroundings.
A standout feature is the large barn with electricity, offering two separate bays and an upstairs workshop—perfect for hobbyists or additional storage. Recent maintenance includes a full furnace inspection and cleaning, septic system pumped and inspected by Morrisonville Septic (1,000-gallon tank), a newly sealed stone chimney, and a property survey completed in December 2021. Property boundaries are clearly marked with orange-taped stakes along the back hillside.
Most furnishings are included with the sale.
Conveniently located just a short drive to Keene, Lake Placid, Wilmington, Westport, and Lake Champlain, with easy access to the ferry to Vermont. Nearby amenities include grocery stores, restaurants, gas stations, and a hospital. Essex County Public Transportation is available and fully accessible to persons with disabilities. Amtrak rail service is also just minutes away in Westport, NY.
