History and provenance await in this significant residence in Mountain Lake's story. Built in 1918 by famed Olmsted associate Charles R. Wait with additions by Franklin W. Abbott, this property was one of the original cottages commissioned by Mountain Lake Corporation to attract early investors. The setting perched above the lake offers sweeping and long range views to the southeast and Bok Tower is visible from the pool and the original Olmsted garden area. Because of its significance, this property also features detailed sketches, drawings, blueprints, and archival photos capturing every detail as originally intended of the Olmsted designed grounds, gardens, and residence. The two acre homesite features the main house, which consists of a dramatic great room with lake views, three bedrooms, formal dining room, cozy den, airy sunroom, and porch. The detached two car garage features three bedrooms with a private entrance. The side garden centerpiece is an Olmsted designed reflecting pool framed by poured concrete walls and steps leading to the terraced garden pool area.
