Property Description

A spectacular waterfront property on Lake Chaffee offering an exceptional blend of lakefront living and a private woodland garden sanctuary. This rare find provides direct, easy water access, sweeping lake views, and the ability to immerse yourself in nature. The meticulously maintained 2 bedroom plus office ranch home sits lakeside on 0.12 acres, with an additional 0.82 acres across the street offering endless possibilities for gardening, hobbies, or future aspirations. The grounds are a gardener's dream - featured in the 2024 Art & Garden Tour of Northeastern CT as the "Secret Garden," highlighting its winding paths, babbling brook, & enchanting planters. A greenhouse with electricity provides year round growing or a peaceful retreat, complemented by multiple exterior water spigots. An artist studio shed provides an inspiring space to create or display artwork. The 1-car garage, equipped with power, water, and a propane heater, offers a warm and functional workspace in every season. Inside the home, a practical mudroom leads to an open and airy main living area. The living room features high ceilings and a loft space currently used for additional guest sleeping. The kitchen includes double wall ovens, a pantry closet, and a comfortable dining area. The remodeled full bath showcases an elegant walk-in shower. The sunroom becomes the heart of the home with uninterrupted views of the lake-an ideal place to relax, entertain, or simply enjoy the serenity of waterfront living.
