I would  like to think that I stay on top of changes in Penn Yan and the Keuka Lake area. Imagine my surprise, to find out that one of my favorite places in Penn Yan has been for sale since October of 2011, and I am a Realtor here.  ( That is what I consider a marketing issue – after this blog, many more will  now know it is for sale  )   It is listed for sale for $829,000 and is a favorite business and Main St staple in Penn Yan.

Lloyds is a great place to stop in and grab a quick pub style meal with a beer or a drink.  ( Lloyds has a HUGE selection for beer lovers.) Bob always has a great selection for meal specials as well.  You just never know what you will find to tempt you besides the usual bar fare.  Grab a booth, bring some friends, order some food and drinks and sit back to enjoy the ambience of the setting with your friends.

Like most home towns, there are always favorite “watering holes” and Lloyds is one of those places where home town visitors tend to congregate when back in town.  After all, what is better than good friends, conversation, drinks and food?

Lloyd’s Limited is located at 3 Main St in Penn Yan, NY.  Whether you are new or old to Keuka Lake, visiting, purchasing lakefront and looking for a place to grab a quick drink and food, or better yet, looking for a great investment to purchase – Lloyd’s is here for you.

OK I am always posting great pics, showing you homes, talking about trends and rumors.  Now I am asking for your help.  I would love my readers to send in some of their favorite Keuka Lake photos.  The photos can be of anything such as mailboxes, docks, boats, people vineyards and so on.  Be creative and I will be sure to give you credit for your photos.  The amount of entries I receive will dictate what I do with all of the photos, (maybe a little contest) or maybe I will attempt to blog about the subject in the photo.

So go ahead and put me to the task.  I am ready willing and able to share your photos and give a little insight to them.

You can send your photos to: lakefrontmary@gmail.com  I look forward to them !

Having lived in the area for over 23 years I am very familiar with the Loomis Barn, a great furniture store that has expanded into gift, a wonderful and delightful cafe that prepares everything homemade,  and even a maple sugar shack.  I dropped in the other day on my way back from an appointment just to get some ideas for my home when I heard a conversation between a gentleman and the store owner.  He was sharing how he did not realize they were there.  ” I was just driving down the road and wow here is a business in the middle of nowhere.”

That statement is quite common, because the business really is in the middle of nowhere.  You drive down a road dotted with farms and if you do not notice the sign out front, you could drive right by.  Many in the area do not know what the Loomis Barn is or what they sell.

    Time to do some browsing – it is great to have shops like this.  Go with a friend      and  stop in at the cafe for a fresh bite to eat.

I have had quite a few buyers in my career that intentionally were looking for something differerent.  I have had calls for old firehouses, school houses, converted barns and yes churches.  I did sell a church in 2010.  Well, my broker currently has a church for sale in Dundee.  Anyone that has been looking for a church to buy and convert, here is your chance !

This church is located at 8 Union St in the Village of Dundee.  The asking price which has already been reduced, is now listed at $54,000.  There is 4688 sq ft in the building which includes an addition in the back with kitchen area.  The lot size is 82 X 116.  Unfortunately, the church bell does not convey. 

This property is perfect for the person that is looking for the unconventional property.
