A
stunning lakeside retreat on Cayuga Lake has hit the market, listed by Century 21 for $1,389,000. The property, dubbed "The Garnsey on Cayuga Lake," boasts breathtaking views of the lake and is situated on a 1.1-acre lot at 3092 Route 89, just south of Seneca Falls.
Originally built in 1820, this two-story house was completely revamped from the ground up in 2019 after being abandoned for years. The current owners salvaged what they could and rebuilt the entire structure on a new foundation. The result is a spacious and modern home with four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and over 3,800 square feet of living space.
The heart of the house features a chef's kitchen with high-end appliances and a large custom island that flows seamlessly into the formal dining room. A center hall entry leads to a spacious living room and expansive covered front porch. The first floor also includes a bedroom with vaulted ceilings and lake views, as well as a mudroom and laundry area with a dog-washing station.
The second floor boasts three bedrooms, including two guest rooms with walk-in closets and a massive primary bedroom suite with a luxurious spa-like bathroom. A covered balcony offers additional outdoor space. The property features 130 feet of lake frontage, including a dock, making it the perfect retreat for those who love the water.
With its rich history dating back to the late 1700s as a farm and homestead, this property is not only a beautiful home but also a piece of local heritage.
