719 Mountain Laurel Road

An Elevated Lake Hills Deckhouse // A hillside mid-century nestled on a private woodland acre with serene views of a glacial rock ledge, native ferns and mature shade trees. The wrap-around deck makes the home a permanent lookout amid the trees. Daily life happens up in this canopy, that's the magic of a deckhouse. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the living room. The kitchen and dining area open onto the elevated deck. The primary bedroom has a full bath ensuite. Two more bedrooms share a hall bath plus laundry. One floor, everything on it. Downstairs offers a bonus space with a second fireplace and custom built-ins, plus a fourth bedroom and a powder room. Ideal for multigenerational living. Drive past Samp Mortar Lake at sunset and you'll understand the allure: golden light on the water, soft sand, slow breaths and the quiet zen only a lake at dusk can offer. Kayaks glide out most mornings, kids cannonball off the docks all summer and the fishing crowd keeps coming back for largemouth bass. Nearby trails wrap around Samp Mortar Rock to an opening 150 feet above sea level which looks out over the water and surrounding forest. Mountain Laurel is part of a community with a rich history and a deep love of Mother Nature's beauty. Access to the lake is private, limited to a precious few with deeded rights. Owners tend to stay for decades, which is the highest compliment a neighborhood gets and the reason a house on this lake rarely comes up.
