White Lake, $176,500
Hemlock Rd, White Lake, Sullivan County
When a home is built with charm and beauty, you don’t need to change a lot over the years. This 1940s cottage — within walking distance of Bethel Woods Center for the Arts — has been upgraded and renovated, but its simple elegance has made it a great getaway.
Enjoy your morning coffee in the screened porch, which leads into the great room. Adjacent to that is the kitchen, updated with marble counters and stainless-steel appliances.
Choose between two bedrooms on either side of the house. One room has a rear door to the backyard; the other bedroom is next to the cutest bathroom, which has a clawfoot tub. A full-size staircase off the great room leads to a sleeping loft for more guests. Adapted for year-round use, the home also has a woodstove.
The woodsy yard has a stone fireplace and an outdoor shower. A private dock and lake rights on 280-acre White Lake, a short walk away, come with the house.
