Major Lodge Style!






Major Lodge Style...
that must be what M.L.S. stands for here, right?

This amazing Adirondack style home
is located in the neighboring town of Bedford, New York.
Several years ago, I had the pleasure of visiting this house, 
before the current owners purchased it.  
When this property reappeared on the market, I couldn't wait 
to check out the photos.  The rumors have it
that Steven Gambrel 
was hired by the current owners to redesign the whole space.  
I can not attest to the veracity of this, but I can tell you 
the house looks completely different
from when I last viewed it in person.  
The only remaining decor is the mural
on the dining room ceiling 
(3rd photo down) which depicts the surrounding lakes outside.




The main house contains a movie theater, 
billiards room and wine cellar.




Included on this lakefront property are a beautiful pool, 
pool house, outdoor fireplace, play house and gym,
complete with indoor basketball court.



Plus, if you buy this house,
we would be neighbors.
{I could stop by and drink your wine.}

Oh wow. I love the grand staircase and the terrasse. And how cool would it be to have a cinema in your own house?!

Francine Gardner said...

I thought from the 4th picture it was a hotel!! Major lodge style is right. Do they have a guest house or garage apartment I could buy instead? Maybe I could rent the playhouse!

Looks peaceful. I love the view the views, especially the lake.

shari @ little blue deer said...

jules @ The Diversion Project said...

Debra said...

Ohhh- I would love to entertain in that home! Love the three Sub-Zeros in the kitchen. I guess one would need three with all of the guests that would invite themselves!!! Really lovely!

My Interior Life said...

Wow. Probably a little out of my price range, but I can always dream.

Fashion, Art and other fancies said...

Everything about this house is chic with modern elements. I love the staircases and furniture. The kitchen is ideal for family dinners with friends;-)

VictoriaArt said...

Amazing! Don't they do house tours in your neighborhood? This would be fabulous to go round and see these places! I bet there are many...

Lovely!

my favorite and my best said...

as it stands now everything about it sucks my balls. too garish and manufactured. but the bones are dumb...steven gambrel will have a field day. he will bring a sense of history to it for sure.

From the photos, I like the outside spaces the best and the views! Oh, the cinema isn't a bad interior feature!

The Zhush said...

MFAMB: The word on the street is that THIS is the Gambrel design...my wording may have been misleading!

pretty pink tulips said...

oooooo.....ahhhhhhhhh.....Andirondack never looked so good!

charmaine said...

Love the outdoor space the best. The view is to die for!

Roxy Te Owens said...

I love the grand scale of EVERYTHING in that house! If I lived there, you could come by any time and have your pick in my wine cellar ;) Right now my "wine cellar" is the Cuisinart 6 bottle wine fridge- not much to get excited about in there!

thenextarrow said...

the flooring is magnificent! thanks for sharing this loveliness.

Kathysue said...

Wow!THe architecture and the setting alone had me at first glance. Amazing property,Kathysue

Karen@StrictlySimpleStyle said...

Gorgeous! I would definitely throw a welcome to the neighborhood party for the owners in hopes of becoming BFF's.

Kendall said...

The property looks amazing, especially the view of the lake.

I'm sure that the new owners will spruce it up with their own personal stamp!

Staley Mc said...

Wow! Beautiful! Definitely would not mind being there!

Lynda @ Happenstance Home said...

That home is over the top incredible. One would never have to leave! Stunning!

Stephanie said...

Sweetie, if they put you being a neighbor in their advertising as incentive, it would start a bidding war! Beautiful!

mise said...

I would be so honoured if you came by and drank my wine. But, magnificent as it is, I couldn't live here - it would crush my inner peace with its opulence.

Jaime @ La vie...J'aime said...

What a gorgeous fireplace and outdoor space! I'd live there :)

Thanks for the well wishes- I am feeling better today.

THE ALTERNATIVE WIFE said...

WOW! Dreamhouse! What a staircase! And that kitchen?!?! I could go on...that whole place is to die for. And I looove Bedford. Swooning....

such luxury.

alison (semi-fab lane) said...

i love it and i'm not a lodgey type person. the kitchen, entryway and outdoor space-i can't even! thanks for showing us this great house-great that you actually got to see it in person too!

Kelle Dame said...

Goodness! I like how the lodge look isn't too overwhelming and I'm glad he kept the mural. This house is in need of some true personality though! A job only the new owners could accomplish...luckies!!

Dancing Branflake said...

This is seriously the perfect home. Oh my goodness. I will be thinking about this house all day long. And you live in that gorgeous area? More pictures???

Naomi@ThirteenandSouth said...

so that's a mural on the ceiling? Wasn't quite sure.

This place looks huge! Not bad for a shack by the lake.

Amanda said...

I gave you an award. Check it out.

Fee-AMore said...

I really like the exterior of the house. It kinda make my jaws drop. ;)

The Red Umbrella said...

Kristin said...

HOLY COW. That kitchen. I can't get over it.

Katie Lynn said...

My favorite thing about this home is how non, well, lodgey ... it feels for this type of residence. The decor is understated and simple, but still lovely (dare I say classy?) and slightly rustic at the same time. Great feature!

lisaroy said...

wow! what an amazing home and property! the architectural details are stunning! love the rock fireplace, staircase, paneled walls, ceilings, flagstone in the yard. sigh....

Andrea said...

Holy dream house!!

Emelie - C'est LA vie said...

Jane said...

hi there I saw you over at Ally's have been meaning to come over.. re the house I am sorry but no the interior is a bit much for me. Too much cabinetry. I might break it. And I certainly don't have enough crockery to fit in there. But the exterior is amazing and what a beautiful location. All that is lovely about the US northeast. xoxo

Struggler said...

I got stuck at the same point as Dreamer's Den and a couple of others: 3 refrigerators just make me want to laugh!!
I'm grateful I don't have to clean this place.

Natasha said...

Just came to visit via Coryanne! No wonder she loves your blog so much! I love it here too! Can't wait to come back and do a big catch up of your previous posts!

Best wishes,
Natasha.

Housewife Bliss said...

I'm going to need that kitchen to be MINE. You could run a small and very efficient catering outfit from a kitchen like that.
