About This Home
Lakeside Comfort with Timeless Charm
Tucked away in a private, wooded setting that spans both Medford and Medford Lakes, 286 Chippewa Trail is a unique blend of natural beauty and thoughtful design. Surrounded by a peaceful thicket and nestled against the water, this home offers a rare opportunity for quiet lakefront living with plenty of space to relax, entertain, and enjoy the outdoors.
Through the front door is a welcoming stone-floored foyer that leads to a layout designed for both easy living and entertaining. On either side of the entrance sits a pair of cozy home offices; one of which can be easily converted into an au pair or guest suite with its own full bath.
Up a few stairs in a kitchen like no other. Featuring handcrafted RUTT cabinetry, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, and a built-in trash compactor. Enjoy indoor-outdoor dining with a walk-out screened-in porch overlooking the water only inches away from the dining area. Descend a short staircase to the living room with a gas fireplace, built-ins, and enormous windows. Round the corner for the formal dining room with tasteful storage running the length of the wall.
Downstairs, the fully renovated basement is ready for game nights and gatherings. A built-in wet bar with a mini Sub-Zero fridge, an antique light fixture over the pool table (negotiable), and a temperature-controlled wine cellar make this space both stylish and practical. A full bath leads to a private bedroom with more built-in storage, perfect for guests.
The primary suite is a true retreat, featuring a private balcony with treehouse vibes, yet even more custom built-ins, and skylights that flood the space with natural light. The bathroom is spacious, with rose marble finishes, double sinks, a vanity, a separate water closet, and a large walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms offer ample closet space, and a full bath with heated floor tubs complete the second floor.
This property is all about embracing the outdoors. The freshly redone deck (2023) features a hot tub and an outdoor shower with hot & cold water—perfect for rinsing off after a swim in the lake. Other highlights include:
•Clear Cedar siding, AZEK decking, and a non-slip porcelain deck
•Stone patio & 12-zone irrigation system
•10-foot deer fencing & motion-sensitive wildlife sprayer
•Muck-Blaster for a clean lake floor (and happy feet!)
For those who need extra storage or workspace, the 2-car attached garage has a finished floor and dedicated subpanel for exterior lighting, while the 2-car detached garage includes a second-story storage area, a potting shed, and a tool shed with electricity. The home is also wired for electric car charging.

•200-amp electrical panel (2020)
•Three-zone heating & cooling, including a dedicated system for the primary suite
