Synthesis designed this multi-building estate to be reminiscent of an Adirondack camp. The site is comprised of a guest house, boat house, carriage house, and main house. The two-story main house is nestled into an hourglass-shaped yard to take advantage of the dramatic views. A large outdoor patio and gazebo extends the living space. A stone seawall and detailed site features augement the stunning Adirondack architecture.

The home features a twelve-seat theater, stone fireplaces, a home office, and five bedrooms. A central great room organizes the open plan and large window groupings fill the interior with natural light. Post-and-beam framing exposes wood ceilings and hardwood floors complement custom cherry beadboard wainscot and trim.

Exterior details include four inches of stone veneer, a specially detailed slate roof, and custom-colored clad windows. Cedar shakes and siding are finished in a combination of natural and painted finishes.
