497 Windemere Ave

Built circa 1904 as a summer retreat by Gustav Stickley, this extraordinary Lake Hopatcong estate is one of only three privately owned Stickley-designed homes known in NJ. Set along the coveted Windemere waterfront from the lake's golden resort era, it offers a rare blend of architectural significance and premier lakefront living. Rich in authentic Arts & Crafts detail, the home showcases handcrafted millwork, quarter-sawn white oak, wide plank flooring, original beams, custom built-ins, amber glass, original baked tiles, and expansive lake-facing windows. Every element reflects Stickley's philosophy of simplicity, craftsmanship, and harmony with nature. Spanning 4 finished living levels, the residence invites you to step back in time while enjoying timeless comfort. A covered porch overlooks the .64-acre setting and a finished 2-story boathouse, creating a picturesque waterfront retreat. Take in summer regattas and a front-row seat, 100ft of waterfront views of Lake Hopatcong's fireworks. A true legacy property where American design history meets refined lakefront living, offering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of NJ's most iconic shoreline. Additional notables of interior and exterior upgrades, floor plans, an interior walk-through tour, and township approvals for an in-ground pool. Located minutes to major routes, NJ transit rail and just one hour to NYC. Vacation where you live and experience all that lake life has to offer in this four-season community.
