This exceptional late Victorian mini estate, a part of the Mamakating Park Historic District, comes with a history as beautiful as its setting. Located north of Masten Lake in the Town of Mamakating it was first a part of a vacation community among other Victorian homes in the area which all mimicked the previous hotel (now a part of Camp Lakota) with its shingle siding, decorative elements, and large front porches.

Stepping inside the grand formal living room greets you with a centralized impressive wood-burning fireplace, a stately staircase wraps elegantly toward the upstairs sleeping quarters with beautiful original woodworking and stained glass windows, as well as built-in corner seating. The expansive formal dining room does not disappoint with another wood-burning fireplace, built-in storage, and plenty of room for large gatherings. An extra bonus off of the living and dining rooms is the billiard room with a third wood-burning fireplace. Other features in the formal living quarters include original tongue and groove wainscotting, wood beams, and hardwood floors and doors throughout.

Off the dining room is a hallway, with built-in storage, leading to the kitchen and washroom all of which have original floor-to-ceiling tongue and groove woodwork. The kitchen has a large butler pantry, plenty of original built-ins, a wood-burning stove, and ample room for your needs. A separate staircase off the kitchen leads to all floors and stops at the fourth with all original tongue and groove woodwork and railings.

At the top of the formal staircase is a landing that leads to several bedrooms with hardwood floors throughout, the first being the large primary bedroom with a wood-burning fireplace. There are five rooms on the second floor, three of which are substantial in size with plenty of natural light and views of the woods surrounding the home.

On the third floor, there are 3 sizable rooms in addition to a small room which could be used as a study or reading nook. All of the rooms as well as the hallway are floor-to-ceiling original tongue-and-groove woodwork. As an added bonus there is a fourth floor which is known as the widow’s peak and has added storage and access to the full walk-up attic.

There is an expansive wrap around enclosed porch with a newly installed ceiling with plenty of room for entertaining. Outside there are three additional lots that come with this home which can be built on or just enjoyed for the extra space. Mature trees grace the open yard surrounding the estate which is great for nature walks and gardens. There is a two-car detached stone garage, guesthouse, and an outbuilding for all your other outdoor and additional needs. Built-in 1912, the home has been preserved for you to let your imagination soar to a time almost forgotten.
