Check out this charming lake home just steps from Sandy Pond Lake, ready for its next chapter of memories! Key features are a beautiful post-and-beam living room and a stunning oversized fireplace, creating a warm cabin feel. A rare drive-through two-car garage adds convenience- with 2 driveways, and the large landscaped yard provides plenty of space to enjoy the outdoors. The pergola with a roof and cement base is perfect for dining, entertaining, or relaxing rain or shine. A unique bonus is the detached one-room cottage, once the original kitchen years ago—ideal for guests, a studio, or extra workspace. The home has a metal roof and is also equipped with a backup generator for peace of mind. Located next to Sandy Pond Beach, you can enjoy swimming, fishing, and a sandy beach with lifeguards, plus tennis courts, a playground, and basketball courts. Convenient access to Route 495 and Route 2 makes commuting easy while still enjoying lakeside living.
