Looking for a modern, spacious home by the lake without the high taxes of a waterfront? Look no further with this 2003 built Colonial on a perfectly level acre, just steps to the community beach, playground and boat docks on picturesque Candlewood Lake! A gracious two story foyer greets you as you enter the main level from the charming front porch, with a formal living room and private home office on each side, all with hardwood flooring. Past the foyer you’ll find an eat-in kitchen with granite counters and stainless appliances and dining room overlooking the Family room with fireplace. The open floor plan is an entertainer’s dream, flowing outdoors to the massive deck overlooking the secluded yard. Enjoy three spacious bedrooms on the upper level and two full bathrooms, including a luxurious primary suite with soaking tub, plus an upper level laundry. Fenced yard for pets and privacy, plus low-maintenance Trex decking, vinyl siding and central air. Tons of room for storage or future expansion in the large basement with high ceilings or in the oversized garage with loft storage and ample parking room for guests in the driveway. This custom built home has high-end mechanicals and the pride of ownership shines through in its meticulous condition. Tucked back from the road with natural privacy, yet just seconds to all that Candlewood Lake has to offer, minutes to shopping, restaurants, I-84/Rt 7 and less than 90 minutes to NYC. Perfect home for weekend or year-round enjoyment!
