About 174 Lake Shore Road

Experience the serenity of waterfront living on peaceful Roaring Brook Lake. The great room welcomes you with soaring ceilings, a stunning stone fireplace, and walls of windows framing breathtaking lake views. Designed for gathering, the kitchen is the heart of the home, featuring concrete countertops, a generous center island with seating, a charming Jotul wood-burning stove, and a custom built-in banquette that's equally suited for quiet breakfasts or memorable evenings with family and friends. Just beyond, a sun-filled lakeside alcove invites you to enjoy your morning coffee, curl up with a favorite book, or simply watch the birds and changing seasons unfold across the water. A screened porch extends the living space outdoors, offering picturesque lake views and seamless access to the backyard and waterfront. Designed for flexible living, the main level also offers two bedrooms, a full bath, and a powder room. Upstairs, a gracefully curved staircase leads to a loft overlooking the lake—ideal as a sitting area, gathering space, or home office—before continuing to the private primary suite featuring custom built-ins, and spectacular water views. Spend your days kayaking, paddleboarding, sailing, swimming, or simply soaking in the peaceful surroundings. With no motorized boats permitted, Roaring Brook Lake offers a rare sense of tranquility that's increasingly difficult to find. Just minutes from Cold Spring's charming boutiques, restaurants, farmers market, and hiking trails—and less than an hour from New York City—this is the perfect year-round retreat or full-time residence. Thoughtfully updated throughout, the home features a new roof, HVAC system, generator, well, custom built-ins, security cameras/alarm system, new fencing, professional landscaping, and numerous additional enhancements. Designed to embrace its extraordinary setting, nearly every room frames sweeping views of Roaring Brook Lake, creating a home that celebrates the beauty of waterfront living.
