Property Description
Nestled near the foot of Mount Pisgah, 48 Old Lake Colby Road is an inviting old-style 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home that blends Adirondack charm with village convenience. As you arrive, the gentle sound of a running brook in front of the home sets a peaceful tone, and glimpses of surrounding mountains frame the property in every season. Inside, warm natural light spills across classic details, and the cozy fireplace becomes the heart of the home--perfect for gathering after a day on the slopes or nearby trails. The flowing layout offers comfortable spaces for both everyday living and entertaining, with room for guests, home office, or hobbies. Step outside to a fenced side yard, ideal for pets, play, or quiet afternoons in the fresh mountain air. The neighboring cabin is tenant-occupied, offering built-in rental income or an opportunity for extended family or guests. Located within the village of Saranac Lake, you're just minutes from shopping, restaurants, and year-round outdoor activities--from hiking and biking to paddling and skiing. With its soothing brook, mountain views, and classic character, this property captures the essence of Adirondack living while keeping you close to everything that makes Saranac Lake so desirable.
