The History
This property has always been one of Lake Mohawk’s most distinctive homes.
Nestled away at the end of a cul-de-sac, this remarkable Craftsman home represents a unique side of Lake Mohawk’s early history. Many of the original lake homes were Crane style summer cottages. This home was something different.
In 1934, Brooklyn builder and pioneer John Starck set out to build a true year round residence. Unlike the traditional quaint summer cottage, this three-story home was built with a scale, presence, and livability that set it apart from many homes of the same era.
Rich with authentic period detail, the home still reflects the craftsmanship of an earlier time. Original hardwood floors, skeleton key doors, crystal doorknobs, and a beautiful fieldstone fireplace speak to its heritage. While preserved tile bathrooms and timeless architectural details add warmth, texture, and a sense of history that cannot be recreated.
The home had remained largely unchanged until 2013, when lifelong Lake Mohawk residents and Sparta business owners took ownership. With deep respect for the home’s original spirit, they thoughtfully restored and updated the residence to what you see today. Carefully modernizing it, while preserving the details that make it so special. The result is a rare balance of historic charm and everyday comfort.
This property offers more than a place to live. It offers a connection to Lake Mohawk’s rich history, with privacy and presence of a truly special property. A rare opportunity to own a home that feels both endearing and entirely its own.
A surviving builder’s block from the home’s original construction, signed by, John R. Starck March 1934.
