    What's special

    Quaint well houseTranquil viewsSide stone patioRare landscaped double lotClassic stucco exteriorRich hardwood floorsTimeless stone foundation
    Welcome to a truly special lakeside retreat tucked inside the charming Putnam Lake community--where character, comfort, and natural beauty come together effortlessly. Set on a rare landscaped double lot with panoramic lake views, this 2-bedroom, 1-bath bungalow immediately stands out with its timeless stone foundation and classic stucco exterior. A striking Japanese maple anchors the property, adding color and elegance through the seasons, while the side stone patio and quaint well house enhance the home's distinctive, storybook appeal. Step inside and you're greeted by a dramatic living room featuring a soaring cathedral wood-beamed ceiling and a stunning stone wood-burning fireplace--the perfect centerpiece for cozy evenings year-round. Rich hardwood floors run throughout, adding warmth and authenticity to the home's natural charm. Just off the main bedroom, a sun-drenched sitting room offers a peaceful escape, wrapped in windows that invite in abundant natural light and tranquil views. Whether used as a reading nook, creative space, or morning retreat, it's a standout feature that elevates the home's livability. Designed for both full-time living and weekend getaways, this property offers access to the private Putnam Lake community, where homeowners enjoy boating (non-motorized, including rowboats) and fishing--ideal for those seeking a relaxed, outdoor lifestyle. Location-wise, you get the best of both worlds: Approximately 60 miles to New York City, typically about a 1 hour 30 minute drive depending on traffic--making it a very feasible escape from city life. Just about 15 miles to Danbury, roughly a 25-30 minute drive, offering convenient access to shopping, dining, and commuter connections. This is not just a home--it's a unique lakeside haven with personality, privacy, and proximity. Properties like this, with such architectural charm and setting, rarely come to market.
