Historic Essex Hamlet 5 Bedroom Home with Lake Champlain Views 
Price: $940,000
Address: 2264 Lake Shore Rd Essex, NY
                                         The Cleland House | Circa 1820 | Western Shore of Lake Champlain

Located on the western shores of Lake Champlain, the Cleland House (circa 1820) with its 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms has been beautifully restored, preserving its historic character while thoughtfully integrating modern comforts. The open-concept kitchen, dining, and living areas, along with the first-floor primary bedroom, feature large east-facing windows that capture stunning views of the lake.

​The 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.

Just a short walk away, enjoy dining at the historic Essex Inn or visit the nearby tavern for craft brews on tap. The hamlet also offers a variety of charming shops, including a bookstore showcasing  works by local artists.

The property is conveniently located near two full-service marinas with seasonal restaurants and a public golf course. 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
