Just moments from the shoreline at Thayer’s Beach and a short distance to the Causeway, this property offers a rare blend of outdoor access, privacy, and versatility on a spacious 1.44-acre lot. Set back from the road, the home creates a peaceful setting while remaining conveniently close to some of Colchester’s most loved waterfront destinations. Inside, the layout is designed for both comfortable everyday living and flexibility. The main living spaces are filled with natural light and flow easily for gathering, relaxing, or entertaining. Step outside to enjoy the in-ground pool—perfect for warm summer days and effortless outdoor hosting. The fully finished lower level adds exceptional value and opportunity, offering space well-suited for extended living arrangements, guest accommodations, or potential rental use. With its own defined living areas, this level provides flexibility for a variety of needs while maintaining separation from the main living space. Outside, the expansive lot offers room to spread out, garden, or simply enjoy the open surroundings—something rarely found this close to the lake. Whether you’re heading to the beach, biking the Causeway, or enjoying quiet evenings by the pool, this property delivers a lifestyle that’s both relaxed and connected. A unique opportunity to own a versatile home in one of Colchester’s most desirable locations—where space, recreation, and long-term potential come together.
