For many buyers, owning a second home in the Adirondacks is all about summer.
Morning walks around Mirror Lake. Afternoons on the water. Shopping and dining on Main Street. Evenings on the deck after a day in the sun. Lake Placid has a way of becoming a tradition—one families return to year after year. For some, that tradition becomes a second home.
Two of my current listings, 50 Beech Hill Circle and 202 Victor Herbert Road, offer the chance to enjoy that lifestyle in the heart of it all.
The Best of Summer, Right Outside Your Door
One of the best parts of summer in Lake Placid is how easy it is to enjoy everything the village has to offer.
The iconic 2.7-mile walk around Mirror Lake is a favorite for morning walks, evening strolls, or bike rides, with beautiful views and easy access to shops, restaurants, and the waterfront. From boating and paddleboarding to waterfront dining, shopping, and events like Songs at Mirror Lake, there’s always something happening.
Two Homes, Two Opportunities
50 Beech Hill Circle offers deeded beach and lakefront rights on Mirror Lake, close proximity to Main Street, and the ability to obtain a vacation rental permit—making it ideal as both a personal getaway and an income-producing property.
202 Victor Herbert Road is a newly built luxury retreat with beautiful views of Lake Placid Lake and the surrounding mountains, multiple outdoor spaces, and an easy walk to the village—perfect for effortless summer living and entertaining.
Find Your Summer Home
Whether you’re looking for a second home with rental potential or a luxury escape for your family to enjoy for years to come, location matters. If you’d like to tour either of these homes—or if you’re searching for something else in or around Lake Placid—I’d be happy to help you find the perfect fit for your Adirondack summers.
