A waterfront home with a pristine preserve view located in the historic Artist Colony of Oakdale's Idle Hour. Fully bulkheaded with deep water docking, the home is a paradise for boaters, fishermen, water sports enthusiasts, and naturalists.

With a large, tiered deck and a great room with panoramic views, the house is perfect for those who appreciate living close to nature.

The home includes 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths, great room, dining room, library/study, laundry room, and updated kitchen with an indoor grill. The home is graced with 2 fireplaces, in the great room and the master bedroom. Appliances include 2 refrigerators, double ovens, ceramic cooktop, dishwasher, trash compactor, washer and dryer. Other amenities include gas heat with brand new burner, central air conditioning, wet bar, security/fire/smoke alarm, gas detector/alarm, in-ground sprinkler system, and efficient to operate and cost-saving solar hot water heat.

The large deck overlooking the water provides a relaxing setting for parties and get-togethers with friends and neighbors. In the winter when the temperature has fallen below freezing, ice skating parties have been held on the canal. Autumn finds the preserve across the canal a blaze of color. A haven for wildlife, the preserve is a habitat for ospreys, egrets, ducks, swans, and other native birds. Summer finds the baby ducklings and cygnets stopping by with their parents for a snack. Delightful!
