Welcome to Hanson House, a truly exceptional retreat that blends complete contemporary comfort with timeless Chautauqua charm. Tucked away on a quiet private cul-de-sac at the end of Howard Hanson Avenue, this spacious 4-bedroom, 3-bath contemporary home offers the perfect mix of privacy, style, and relaxation.
Originally built in 2003 and beautifully maintained, Hanson House features an open-concept design with soaring vaulted ceilings, washed pine and natural wood accents, an abundance of natural light streaming through premier Pella windows, and French doors leading to two inviting “Classic Chautauqua” porches.
At the heart of the home is a fully equipped chef’s kitchen, featuring custom cherry cabinetry, high-end appliances, dual sinks, and a peninsula island perfect for gathering, cooking, and conversation. The kitchen flows effortlessly into the bright and airy dining and living areas, ideal for entertaining or unwinding after a day of adventures in and around the institution and the lake.
The first-floor primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with a custom king bed, generous closet space, and an accessible en-suite bath. Step through your private entrance onto a cozy side porch, perfect for morning coffee or a reflective evening read.
Upstairs, you’ll find two additional bedrooms (one with twin beds and one with a queen and private sitting alcove), a full bath, and a relaxed common area featuring both a single sleeper chair and a queen sleeper sofa -- ideal for families or guests.
The fully finished lower level adds even more versatility, offering a private bedroom and full bath, plus a fun game and exercise room complete with foosball, ping pong, game table and other amenities.
Outside, enjoy your own private paver patio in the backyard garden, complete with chez lounge, barbecue, fire table with seating for six -- perfect for al fresco family dinners and cozy evenings under the stars.
Thoughtfully designed, meticulously maintained, and made for truly memorable stays, Hanson House is more than just a rental -- it’s a unique place to gather, recharge, and create lasting memories.
