This lake front, originally built in 1941, retains the character and elegance that only mature homes can provide. You won’t find vinyl siding here, or the latest building materials that Home Depot has to offer. But someone looking for a vacation hideaway with the charm of yesteryear will find their dreams have come true. The exterior retains most of the original log siding and the interior knotty cedar is light-years away from sheet rock and mirrors. This is a country home in every respect and the “leave-your-worries-at-the-office” feeling comes through as soon as you step inside. As for the lake location, it is simply the best. Perched on a bluff at Bishop’s Rock, the views here are some of the most dramatic on all of Lake Hopatcong. Beautiful panoramic main lake views can be seen from almost everywhere inside this lake front cottage and outside the views are breathtaking. From any of the multiple decks, patios, or docks the view is stunning. In fact, the owners say that some people become emotional when they first see the beauty of the lake, the mountains and the granite outcroppings that are Bishop’s Rock. This granite extends deep into the lake here, providing deep water and some of the best swimming anywhere. These are only a few of the wonderful points of interest here at Bishop’s Rock. Call Chris Edwards to schedule an appointment to see the others. Chris has been boating on Lake Hopatcong for more than fifty years and has sold more than 250 lake front homes. You’ll be pleased with the results.
