The Space:

Some places feel like a checklist. The Billingswood feels like a memory you haven’t made yet.



You arrive through the trees and tall grasses, and the lake is suddenly there—quiet, glassy, and close enough to count the ripples. Out back, 150+ feet of private shoreline gives you room to spread out and settle in. The kind of place where mornings start with coffee in the sunroom, where the world slows down, and where evenings end on the deck, watching the sky change color over the lake, one soft minute at a time.



Inside, the home opens up for togetherness—cook, laugh, linger. The living and dining space is easy and inviting, with decorative fireplaces that add a little old-world glow. The kitchen is fully stocked for big breakfasts, snack boards, or that “we should grill tonight” moment. And when the weather turns (or the kids need a mission), the game room is ready for friendly competition—foosball, games, and the kind of laughter that echoes down the hallway.



All bedrooms are on the second floor, keeping the main level open for gathering.



Bedroom 1 – Primary King Suite

A calm, spacious king retreat with an ensuite bathroom (double sinks + bathtub). Best for the “early-to-bed, first-coffee” person.



Bedroom 2 – King Bedroom

A comfortable king room that feels simple and restful—ideal for a second couple or anyone who wants a little extra stretch-out space.



Bedroom 3 – Two Double Beds

The fun, flexible room—perfect for kids, cousins, or friends who don’t mind a late-night recap of the day’s best moments.



Outside, the house gives you options: a large covered patio for rainy-day lounging, a balcony for fresh-air breaks, and space to gather around the electric firepit with something warm in your hands.



Then, when you want more to do, you’ve got it—Sleepy Hollow Lake’s community amenities bring that “vacation resort” energy.

The Neighborhood:

Sleepy Hollow Lake is built for “do something—or do nothing at all.”



Spend the day at the sand beach, paddle out from the marina, rally on the pickleball courts, or watch the kids take over the sports complex. It has that rare mix of peaceful lakeside calm and full-scale recreation.



When you want to venture out, Athens offers small-town Hudson River charm (including the historic Stewart House scene), and Hudson is just a short drive for dining, antiques, and strolling.



Hunter & Windham are about 40–45 minutes away for ski days and mountain adventures year-round.
