Property Description

At the base of Cobble Hill, one of Lake Placid’s most scenic peaks, stands a home of both history and presence. Built at the turn of the 20th century and gracefully expanded in the 1970s, this residence has been carefully renewed with a complete systems renovation in 2005, ensuring modern comfort and safety while preserving its original Adirondack character.

Set on over an acre of terraced lawns and mature hardwoods, the property enjoys remarkable privacy just a half mile from Mirror Lake and Main Street. Here, the best of Lake Placid living is at your doorstep, yet the setting feels entirely your own.  Choose to walk “The Loop” around Mirror Lake Drive, or take advantage of the direct access to the Cobble Hill and Jack Rabbit Trail systems- and to thousands of acres of Adirondack wilderness – including Whiteface Mountain – for walking, trail running, mountain biking and back country skiing.

The home’s design blends timeless craftsmanship with generous proportions. The grand living room welcomes with coffered ceilings, original woodwork, and a striking fireplace, flowing naturally to the formal dining room with wrought iron chandelier and large windows. A chef’s kitchen with Viking and Bosch appliances, farmhouse sink, and abundant cabinetry anchors the main floor, complemented by a substantial mudroom designed for Adirondack life.

Upstairs, the primary suite is a retreat unto itself, with multiple balconies, private bath, and light-filled views of the grounds. Additional bedrooms, each paired with en suite or hall baths, and a flexible study/office create space for both gathering and retreat. The finished lower level extends the living experience, with a stone hearth wood stove, custom shelving, and room for recreation and media.

Modern systems include a high efficiency propane boiler with in-floor radiant heat in much of the home, with restored cast iron radiator heating throughout the other rooms, double pane Pella windows, completely upgraded electrical wiring and plumbing, and a fully remote monitored Mahoney Notify Plus security and fire system, carbon monoxide, water overflow, freeze protection, propane sensing, and burglary system. Additionally, the entire home is insulated to modern standards.  Outdoors, stonework paths, a fire pit, and multiple porches invite year-round enjoyment.

A home of history, scale, and distinction — 66 Cobble Hill Road offers a unique opportunity to own one of Cobble Hill’s original residences, refined for today and positioned for generations to come.
