The Home
Descending to the lower level, you'll find two additional Queen bedrooms, each offering a cozy and comfortable retreat for guests. One of the bedrooms has a desk and chair, perfect for remote work. A relaxed TV den sets the scene for movie nights or board game fun after long summer days.
The functional open floor plan on both levels maximizes space and natural light, letting you take in the captivating westerly-facing mountain views and spectacular sunsets. The property to the rear is forever wild and surrounded by trees, ensuring your privacy and peace. Both the upper and lower levels have outdoor access via a private entrance, increasing accessibility.
The Circle House welcomes the whole family. Amenities for babies and toddlers are available for use, such as a pack-n-play (with sheets), high chair, monitor, and baby gate. Dogs are welcome, and are encouraged to visit the lakefront “secret” dog beach nearby.
Outdoors, the highlight is the expansive wrap-around deck with a table and chairs, perfect for grilling and soaking in the natural surroundings. Enjoy evenings around the fire pit or relax in the hot tub under the stars.
This uniquely-styled lake house is located in the Sleepy Hollow Lake community, offering close access to the beach, pool, marina, basketball/tennis courts, and parks. When the sun is high, take advantage of the community lake beach access and pool—ideal for cooling off or launching into water adventures.
This home beautifully blends modern comforts with the outdoors, offering an irresistible way to experience Hudson Valley and the Catskills at the height of summer.
