Historic Essex Hamlet 5 Bedroom Home with 360 Feet Waterfront
Price: $1,150,000
Address: 2264 Lake Shore Rd Essex, NY
                                         The Cleland House | Circa 1820 | Western Shore of Lake Champlain with 360 ft of Waterfront 

Blended opportunity with this residential and commercial offering in the historic hamlet of Essex, NY. The property is now being offered to include: the Cleland House, circa 1820, with its five bedrooms and four bathrooms, beautifully restored to preserve its historic character while thoughtfully integrating modern comforts; and the commercial waterfront, consisting of 360 feet of shoreline, a 3.2-acre underwater grant, and an extensive concrete dock system.

Many opportunities exist, as this property is currently on two separate deeds. Combine the waterfront and the home for your own private use, or use the house as a private residence while renting out the waterfront dock space, which is currently zoned commercial. Alternatively, explore combining the house and waterfront to create a commercial operation with waterfront access.
​
Once part of a larger marina, the large concrete docking system can accommodate up to 30 boats. The docks are being sold as-is and have not been actively rented out for many years.

Many of the updated to the house include chef’s kitchen includes a Wolf gas stove, Miele wall oven and microwave, Sub-Zero refrigerator, under-counter beverage refrigerator, stainless steel countertops, and custom lighting. It opens seamlessly into the living space, which extends out to a generous lake-facing deck—perfect for entertaining or relaxing on warm summer days. The deck also features a fully automated electric awning that provides cooling shade and protection from rain when open.


The first-floor primary bedroom offers a luxurious ensuite bath with soaking tub and custom tiled shower, as well as a spacious walk-in closet with custom built-ins and a laundry area with  washer and dryer.
​
Upstairs includes a large lake-facing bedroom with ensuite full bath plus three additional bedrooms, one currently used as an office with lake views, and a well-appointed full bathroom. A spacious additional living area on the 2nd  floor with a wet bar and under the counter refrigerator provides a perfect setting for a family room or media space. The ready to be finished walk-out basement offers flexible use with opportunity to create a game room, overflow guest space, additional living area, or use as storage space.

It’s just a short drive to the town of Willsboro, which offers a variety of amenities, including a small grocery store, bank, hardware store, pickleball courts, and tennis courts. You can also enjoy the "Champlain Area Trails," an extensive walking trail system that includes a beautiful walking tour of an old limestone quarry just around the corner from this house. The home is close to Lake Placid for hiking and skiing, four hours to Boston, 2.5 hours to Albany, and just 90 miles to Montreal, Canada
