The home
Built to keep the lake in view.
From the open main floor to the upper-level bedroom and loft, the water is never far from sight. The rebuilt interior feels practical, relaxed and unmistakably connected to Conesus Lake.
Inside, soaring vaulted ceilings, an open-concept layout and abundant natural light create an inviting space where the lake is never far from view. The home features one private bedroom plus a spacious open loft/sleeping area and two full bathrooms.
Both the bedroom and loft have their own sliding glass doors opening directly onto the second-story deck overlooking the lake, creating a memorable setting for morning coffee, quiet afternoons or unforgettable sunsets.
Year-round comforts include radiant-floor heat, gas stove, laundry, ceiling fans, portable air conditioning, exterior natural-gas hookup, and outdoor hot and cold water.

Additional land + documented zoning history
Two sides of East Lake Road. One uncommon opportunity.
The property does not end at the waterfront cottage. Across East Lake Road are open lawn, mature trees, storage structures and a gravel drive. This is more than an unexamined idea: Town records document prior zoning consideration and approval for an accessory dwelling on the property, while any new building plan remains subject to its own review.
The property connection at a glance
The long view
Waterfront today. Room to imagine tomorrow.
The additional land is one of the property's greatest assets. It offers the opportunity to explore a larger primary residence across the road while retaining the waterfront home, with the eventual residential arrangement subject to Town review and approval.
Live on the lake today.Build for the future.Keep the waterfront home that made you fall in love with the property in the first place.
That combination creates unusual flexibility: an existing lakefront home at the water's edge and additional land just across the road, all within the same tax parcel.
Any future development is subject to applicable zoning, setbacks, municipal approvals and permitting. Future rental use is subject to applicable laws and regulations.
The record behind the possibility
A future vision with documented history.
Development potential deserves more than an attractive photograph. The Town's records provide a meaningful starting point for a buyer exploring the additional land.
August 17, 2015 · Zoning Board
A prior accessory-dwelling approval
The Livonia Joint Zoning Board of Appeals voted 4–1 to approve a conditional-use permit for an accessory dwelling in an existing three-season accessory building at this property. The decision included conditions involving public water and sewer connections and a fence extension.
October 5, 2026 · Town clarification
Defined approvals carry defined rights
In writing, Town zoning staff confirmed that existing area variances remain with the parcel for the specific work originally approved. The conditional-use permit may remain if the approved use and its terms have not changed. Its present applicability should be verified directly with the Town.
Current Town code · §§ 150-41, 150-60
What the 40% rule means
Livonia's code provides for one accessory dwelling unit under applicable zoning rules, in a principal or accessory building. Its area may not exceed 40% of the principal dwelling unit's area, and owner-occupancy rules apply. The 40% refers to dwelling area, not land that can be built on.
The opportunity to explore
Consider the land and the waterfront together.
A buyer interested in a larger primary residence across East Lake Road could explore how that plan might work with the existing waterfront home. The 2015 approval addressed an existing accessory structure, not a newly proposed principal residence. A different building or dwelling arrangement requires its own Town determination, plans and approvals.

Historic zoning records can be made available for buyer due diligence. New construction, permit status, existing approval conditions, setbacks, utilities, road right-of-way and other site requirements must be confirmed with the Town.

Flood-map clarity
Helpful FEMA information is already in hand.
A FEMA Letter of Map Amendment is on file for the existing cottage/residence and shed, providing useful clarity about the existing improvements.
The FEMA Letter of Map Amendment confirms that the existing cottage/residence and shed have been removed from the Special Flood Hazard Area and are shown in Zone X, unshaded. Portions of the parcel remain within the Special Flood Hazard Area, and buyers should independently verify current FEMA mapping, flood insurance requirements and the applicability of floodplain regulations to any proposed future construction.
Lake life
The lake, the light, the possibility.
From quiet mornings on the water to golden-hour sunsets, this is a property shaped by the Conesus Lake experience.
