Aurora Escape: "Spectacular Design Awaits You!"

Come enjoy lakeside living at its finest at the outstanding Aurora Escape! Located on the east side of Cayuga Lake in beautiful downtown Aurora, this 6 bedroom 4 bath estate will exceed your expectations.

Located in between the spectacular Aurora Inn and equally special E. B. Morgan House, Aurora Escape offers the perfect location for enjoying all that Aurora has to offer, with fine dining and other assorted eating and shopping establishments all within walking distance.

The spacious interior floor plan is designed with both comfort and luxury in mind. Wall to wall original wood flooring on the first floor reflects the property's historical quality and value, while the majority of the second floor was renovated in 2015.

Upon entering through the back door of the property you will find a cozy library with flat screen HD television and over size leather chairs. Take a break from the sun reading one of the many books, while sipping a glass of your favorite Finger Lakes wine. Beyond the library you'll find a formal dining area. This room provides ample space for entertaining dinner guests, or playing games.

In the kitchen, the beautiful white cabinetry is stocked with everything the chef in your group will need in order to feel like they're surrounded by all of the comforts and conveniences of being at home.

Just off the kitchen is located the first-floor bath. Across the hallway from the bath, you will find a bedroom with a queen bed and closet and a few short stairs up to a second private bedroom with full-size bed.

Passing again through the kitchen and down a hallway you'll enter a spacious living area, offering guests the comfort of a sofa and armchairs, flat-screen HDTV, and beautiful decorative fireplace.

Off the living room is the master bedroom with 4 post, a king-size bed, and en suite bathroom with a walk-in shower unit. Completing the main level is a drawing room with tall windows and beautiful paintings, complete with a full size antique pool table.

Upstairs, you'll be pleased to find a second full size kitchen, both remodeled in 2015 and complete with granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances. In addition, there are three private bedrooms with queen beds on this floor, all of which were renovated in 2015. Completing this level are two full bathrooms. One of the bathrooms boasts a full remodel in 2015 and offers a heated floor and beautiful tile work, as you'll see from the pictures.

Outside, walk past the garage to the lakefront where a permanent dock is available. Sit in Adirondack chairs to enjoy the sunset or enjoy sunbathing on the dock. Aurora is pleasingly located at the widest point of any of the finger lakes, with the west side of the lake nearly 3.5 miles away across Cayuga Lake's beautiful blue waters.

When not on the lake enjoying the sun, venture out and experience the area by enjoying the Cayuga Wine Trail, Ithaca, NY, and Cornell University to the south, the Mackenzie Childs Store, Wells College, local State Parks, and area restaurants. Or, treat yourself to a day at the spa and visit The Spa at the Inns of Aurora. The Aurora Escape is the perfect vacation home that you'll want to return to again and again!

Beautiful, artistic, huge home
We loved the unique spaces and art! We had 8 people and everyone was able to have their own room, except for the teens/college kids who all stayed up on the top level. We also loved walking down to the lake and enjoying all of the spring flowers. It was perfect for our family gathering for a memorial service in Syracuse.

Great Location!
We had a wonderful time at this home. The house is very spacious, and nicely appointed. We also really enjoyed the town of Aurora. The only criticism is that there are 2 coffee pots in the main kitchen, neither of which worked, so we had to bring a pot down from one of the upstairs kitchens. And there are no oven mitts or pot holders in the house, and dish towels were not provided. Also in the description of the house it shows a lovely firepit down by the lake. The firepit did not exist. So that was a bit disappointing. Otherwise we had a wonderful experience!

Beautiful Location
The perfect house for relaxing by the lake or spending time with friends. Also, it is a short walk from local shops and bars. I would highly recommend if visiting the Finger Lakes region.
