Life at the lake! Gather around the backyard fire pit after a day at the beach or on the boat. Or relax in the hot tub on the rear patio while steaks sizzle on the gas grill. Welcome to Candlewood Lake Estates, the sought-after gated, beach community on the northern shore of Connecticut's largest lake. When entering this very appealing 2,806sf Colonial/Contemporary style home, you are greeted by distinctive Saltillo tile floors in the wide open living room and adjacent dining room. The convenient main level MBR has sliders to the front patio and provides peaceful and serene views of the lake. Upstairs there are more views of the lake from the deck and you will be amazed by the massive family/rec room (34' x 23') with magnificent fireplace, ceiling fans and multiple skylights. The home is super energy efficient featuring state-of-the art Biasi boiler and a pellet stove in the wide open downstairs living area and includes newer windows and extra insulation. The roof and septic system are also newer and provide carefree living for years. The 3-car attached garage and extensive stone walls and steps complete this most appealing package. You'll have your choice of four beaches, two on Candlewood Lake and two on Green Pond. Two of these beaches are within walking distance. Ask about boat dock, it is separately deeded and available. Hurry, before someone beats you to it!
