378 Lake Shore Rd Putnam Valley, NY 10579

Step into a storybook setting just 60 miles from Manhattan, where timeless charm meets lakeside tranquility on idyllic Roaring Brook Lake. Located in the Hudson Valley and surrounded by more than 14,000 acres of preserved forest and trails in Fahnestock Park, this property offers a rare blend of privacy and natural beauty. Ownership in the Roaring Brook Lake District grants exclusive access to the lake for residents only, with year-round recreation including a community Regatta and the Fishing Derby, along with boating, swimming, skating, cross-country skiing, and ice fishing. Entering through the gated portico, you're welcomed by classic architectural details that evoke a bygone era, thoughtfully preserved and rich in character. Inside, pristine high-end 1960s finishes feel current, from distinctive wallpaper to bespoke elements rarely found today. The home presents a unique opportunity to either embrace its vintage aesthetic or modernize while maintaining its exceptional craftsmanship. The layout is generous and inviting, starting with the walk-in coat closet only built out in homes meant to entertain. The living room features a hand-hewn stone wall, slate floors, and soaring floor-to-ceiling windows and doors that keep the lake as the focal point. There is a hidden wine room complete with a bar sink, dining room that spans the length of the house, and a sauna through the first floor bathroom. The kitchen, once owned by a renowned NYC French caterer, is outfitted with commercial-grade stove and ovens. Upstairs, an oversized deck is accessed from two points- first, from the primary suite which includes an ensuite bath, dressing room, and walk-in closet. Second, from the spacious loft or sitting room that was previously a third bedroom (legal 3 bedroom on tax card). Outside enjoy an outdoor stone kitchen ("as is"), a sandy beach area amongst 95' of lakefront, and distinctive rock plantings artfully integrated throughout the mature landscape, creating a serene and private retreat. Roaring Brook feels like a secluded destination, yet its only 0.5miles from the Taconic. Whether its used as a full-time residence, Manhattan weekend escape, or future investment property, this is a rare and distinctive lakefront offering.
