About this home
Opportunity meets potential at 536 Lake Shore Drive. A 3 bedroom home that has flexibility for more. Set in the Putnam Lake community, this three-level home offers approximately 1,594 square feet of above-grade living space, plus a substantial basement that creates an exciting opportunity for a buyer with vision.
The main level offers a comfortable and functional layout with a spacious living room, dining area, kitchen, full bath and two bedrooms. Upstairs, you'll find an additional bedroom, another full bath, laundry area, walk-in closet and a large storage room—giving the home flexibility for today's changing needs. Several spaces have already been beautifully updated, including a bright, modern bath and rooms that demonstrate just how dramatically this property can be transformed.
But the real story here may be the untapped potential.
The basement provides a significant amount of additional space, with a full bath already in place, a separate room, storage and utility areas, and a large open section ready for the next owner to reimagine. Whether envisioned as recreation space, a home gym, workshop, office, hobby area or additional finished space, the possibilities are substantial, subject to applicable approvals and building requirements.
For an investor, contractor or buyer looking to create equity, the home presents a compelling opportunity. Continue the renovations, improve the unfinished areas, refresh the exterior and outdoor spaces, and create a property tailored to your own vision. For an owner-occupant, it is an opportunity to purchase a home today while improving it over time rather than paying a premium for someone else's finished renovation.
Outside, the home is surrounded by mature trees and greenery, creating a setting that feels removed from the congestion of more densely developed areas. The existing deck and yard also offer another opportunity to create inviting outdoor living and entertaining spaces.
And then there's the location. Putnam Lake and the surrounding countryside are an important part of the lifestyle here. Putnam County offers an abundance of outdoor recreation, including hiking, biking, fishing and parks. Nearby destinations include Wonder Lake State Park, Tilly Foster Farm, the Putnam County Trailway and Thunder Ridge Ski Area, providing year-round activities from hiking and cycling to skiing and snowboarding.
At the same time, you're not isolated. The greater Brewster area provides shopping, dining and access to major roadways, while Metro-North service from Brewster/Southeast provides a connection toward New York City. Putnam County also operates bus service connecting Putnam Lake with Brewster.
536 Lake Shore Drive isn't simply about what the home is today—it's about what it can become. With its existing living space, two full baths above grade plus a basement bath, flexible three-level layout, substantial basement and desirable Putnam County setting, this is an opportunity for a buyer ready to unlock the property's next chapter....
