Historic Charm Meets Timeless Sophistication
Built between 1912 and 1913 by Charles Jones Peabody, The Evaley is a stunning Tudor Revival estate with a stucco and granite façade, half-timber framing, and elegant gambrel dormers. Inside, The Evaley’s timeless elegance unfolds with rich chestnut woodwork, intricate crown molding, wainscoting, and charming pocket doors. Stained glass windows cast vibrant patterns across the gleaming hardwood floors, while six fireplaces add warmth and grandeur. The estate’s eight expansive bedrooms and eight opulent bathrooms are complemented by modern conveniences, including a finished third floor, a state-of-the-art wine room, and game room.
The Legacy of EVALEY: Lake George’s Heritage
The Evaley is a crowning jewel of Lake George’s iconic “Millionaires’ Row.” Charles Peabody, a prominent figure and brother to philanthropist George Foster Peabody, was among a cadre of influential Brooklynites who transformed Lake George’s shores into a summer haven for New York’s elite. The estate, named after Peabody’s children, Eva and Dudley, was thoughtfully positioned to offer breathtaking views of Lake George and the surrounding Adirondack Mountains from nearly every room. The Evaley stands as a testament to this gilded age of leisure, where visionaries sought refuge and inspiration amid the unspoiled beauty of the Adirondacks.
A Spectacle of Natural Beauty
Each morning at The Evaley begins with stunning lakeview sunrises, best savored with a morning espresso on the veranda as the dawn casts its radiant hues across the water. At night, be enchanted by moonlit vistas of the pine-strewn mountains from your private retreat in the master suite’s balcony. Water lovers will appreciate the estate’s mooring and dock access, catering perfectly to nautical pursuits.
