This 1950s cottage on Lake George's waterfront offers a rare opportunity with direct lake access and sandy bottom frontage. The 0.35-acre lot sits at water's edge with views toward Rogers Rock, two-car garage, and connection to town sewer. The existing structure is positioned close to the shoreline; many buyers undertake significant renovation or rebuilding projects on waterfront parcels of this caliber. The property is situated in the Putnam Central school district, minutes from the village of Putnam.
