Overview

A rare Highlands offering just four minutes from Main Street, this private two-home mountain retreat was originally built by renowned local craftsman Ralph Thomas and thoughtfully updated for modern living. Set on approximately one acre across two lots near Mirror Lake, the property combines privacy, craftsmanship, flexible space, and rental potential. Together, the residences offer approximately 4,500 square feet of interior living space, five bedrooms, five full baths, multiple Guest/flex rooms and office spaces, two laundry/utility areas, four full-size refrigerators, and inviting indoor-outdoor gathering areas. More than 2,000 square feet of decking includes a cathedral-style screened porch, permanent seating, two fire pits, an outdoor stove, and winter mountain and summer forest-canopy views. The main residence was renovated in 2020 while preserving its Adirondack camp character, including original wormy chestnut cabinetry and wood flooring. Premium appliances, updated baths, a metal roof, replacement windows and doors, generator service, garages, workshop space, parking, and short-term rental income history from the second home complete this exceptional Highlands retreat.
