100 year old lake front carriage house with all town approvals and construction permits for a major renovation – expansion!
This more than 100 year old lake front carriage house is a very unique opportunity. It was originally the carriage house for the Lotta Crabtree Estate known as Attol Tryst, then later called the Crabtree Cottage. It has the character and seasoned wainscoting of yesteryear, and brings back memories of days gone by. The current owners haven’t changed the carriage house since they purchased it, but they have given extensive thought to this idea. They retained an architect and together they designed a major renovation - expansion to bring it to the level of the other lake front homes in this area. This is a very upscale area, with million dollar and multi-million dollar homes side by side. This renovation is fully approved by the town building department and construction permits have already been issued. This means construction can begin immediately without zoning and planning board issues, a huge plus. In addition, this area is serviced by city water and city sewers, another highly desirable feature. So there are two options here. You can live in a historic carriage house that was built more than 100 years ago, or complete the approved renovation and have a modern lake front with all of today’s amenities. Call Chris Edwards with any questions you may have about either option, or to schedule an appointment to review the construction drawings. Chris has been boating on Lake Hopatcong for more than fifty years and has extensive knowledge of the lake and lake front real estate. You'll be pleased with the results.
