A classic cure cottage located in the highly sought-after Moody Pond district of Saranac Lake is now available for its next owner. Rich in history and Adirondack charm, this well-maintained home offers abundant natural sunlight throughout, complemented by beautifully preserved cure porches attached to four bedrooms. Refinished hardwood floors and striking beadboard-lined porches showcase the home's timeless character and thoughtful care. The lower level features a convenient butler's prep area, while the rear porch serves perfectly as a functional mudroom. Additional highlights include a spacious covered front porch, a two-car garage with extra storage, and a quaint fenced backyard--ideal for relaxation. Perfectly situated, the property is just a 1.1-mile walk around Moody Pond, 0.4 miles to the base of Mount Baker, 0.2 miles to The Pines recreational trails, 0.2 miles to the Adirondack Rail Trail, and only 0.5 miles to the heart of downtown.
