About 21 Lake Shore Drive
On the serene shores of Lake Truesdale in South Salem sits Blackbird Cottage, an utterly charming two-bedroom that truly lives like a three. Built in 2020, the home still feels brand new inside. Step into a light-filled entry and continue into a spacious open living area. The stylish kitchen features a center island and chef’s appliances, while the adjacent dining area is a magical retreat surrounded by windows, making you feel as though you’re floating above the lake, almost like a treehouse in the sky. Upstairs, you’ll find two generous bedroom suites, both with lake views, and a chic, spa-like bathroom. The lower level offers incredible flexibility with a large bonus room and full bath, perfect for use as a lounge, mudroom, office, or guest space. Outdoor living is just as special as the entertainment on the perfectly scaled Trex deck overlooking lush green surroundings, or gathering around the fire pit in Adirondack chairs with friends and a glass of lemonade. A lower level covered patio invites you to sit back and enjoy the sound of the rain on a lazy rainy day, while a newly constructed private dock extends the living space onto the water where you can paddle board, canoe, or row across the peaceful lake. This truly is a four-season lake house — as special in spring, summer, and fall as it is in winter, when you can ice skate on the frozen lake or even play a game of hockey. Come sit on the porch, catch the breeze, listen to the birds and the sounds of nature as you gaze out over the water
