Waterfront home with private boathouse listed for $1.75M on Lake Hopatcong

A lakefront home with its own boathouse and access to a sandy bottom swimming area? This property for sale in Hopatcong is the ideal location for those looking to take advantage of New Jersey's lake lifestyle all year long.

The four-bedroom, three-bathroom Craftsman-style home at 345 Lakeside Boulevard was listed by Kathy Courter of RE/MAX House Values. Currently priced at $1.75 million, the home is situated on a nearly half-acre lot on the main stretch of Lake Hopatcong — the largest lake in New Jersey at nine miles long, covering 2,500 acres.

The property features a spacious living room with a wood burning fireplace, a wall of windows and access to the home's wraparound covered porch. There is also a banquet-sized dining room, a gourmet kitchen with granite countertops, a center island and stainless steel appliances, as well as a luxurious primary suite with a private balcony, walk-in closets and an all-new custom designed ensuite bathroom.

"It's just a good recreation location and there's so much to do. That particular property stands out because it has that lakefront charm of an arts and crafts-style home, but it also blends in with all the new modern conveniences," Courter said. "Having the ability to walk into something that still has some vintage charm, like the wraparound porch, is amazing. You could be out there, regardless of the weather, and sit on that porch and really still enjoy the lake life."

But, Courter said one of the home's biggest draws is the property's private boat house, lakeside cabana and dock. She said it is a feature that is often highly desired by those looking to live on a lake, but is oftentimes rare to find. And, additional details, like the home's spacious yard — completed with several patio spaces and a fire pit — as well as panoramic views of the lake, including sunrises and sunsets, also help make this lakefront property one of a kind.

"The sunrise is very stunning and this home is just beautiful. Besides just entertaining in your home's waterfront area, you can walk down the steps into that sandy bottom part of the lake," she said. "It has the vintage charm of a lake house with modern updates that a sophisticated buyer would want today."
