This adorable gem of a home is located in a prime position in CANDLEWOOD LAKE ESTATES in Sherman CT - a private gated lake community amid beautiful natural surroundings that offers residents access to two private beaches on Candlewood Lake and two on Green Pond. This charming, low maintenance Contemporary was built to last - good bones and quality of construction - and features seasonal views of Orchard Beach - one of the community's four private beaches - that is also within walking distance. Nestled into a hillside, the home has a backdrop of dramatic rock outcroppings, while a bright open floor plan greets you upon entering. Large windows and multiple skylights bathe the home in sun and light. The combination living/dining room features a stone fireplace, hardwood flooring and vaulted ceiling, with sliders leading to a newly rebuilt wraparound deck. The main level bedroom also accesses the deck through sliders, while the upper level bedroom has its own sitting room, which can easily convert to a third bedroom, if needed (3 bedroom septic system). The unfinished lower level offers sliders to a rear patio and a half bathroom. Candlewood Lake offers all kinds of water sports, while Green Pond is a spring fed, clear lake that is ideal for swimming and boating in non-motorized craft. A private community dock on Candlewood can be arranged for a modest rental. Newer roof, newly stained white cedar siding. This is an ideal weekend getaway home, or a worry-free year round retreat.
