Original owner, Dr. Edward from Philadelphia built this cabin in 1927 on Ballinger Lake with 200 ft of water frontage.. He extended the lot into the lake and added to the sandy beach . This home is one of the first 10 homes to be built in the colony and has one of the largest most private wooded lakefront lots. There are lake views from all rooms as well as over 40 custom windows throughout the house. Originally the home was built as a summer retreat, and it has one of the largest stone fireplaces with original hanging hooked black kettle known as a fireplace crane. This home features 5 bedrooms and 3 full baths, open spaced kitchen for all your entertaining & culinary needs, a oversized family room or what was considered a lodge room, and upper hallway with large balcony that overlooks this grand space. In 2007, Copper Rust Versailles slate floors were installed & encompass the entire first floor. In the same year, the Carriage home on the property was fully renovated to a 1 full bedroom, 1 full bathroom, laundry room, as well as upper level family room and a full size kitchen. There is also additional storage space created in areas around the carriage home and another wood cabin shed was constructed on the property.
