Rarely does a Waterford home offer this combination of classic Colonial character, lake views, privacy, and 1.28 acres directly across from Watkins Lake! Impeccably cared for by the same owner for more than 36 years, this 4-bedroom, 2-bath home carries the kind of long-term pride of ownership buyers can feel the moment they arrive. Inside, timeless details and thoughtful updates create a warm and inviting home with hardwood floors, a living room with natural fireplace, formal dining room, and a first-floor bedroom. The updated kitchen features granite counters, tile backsplash, pantry and newer stainless steel appliances. A bright four-season room overlooks the private backyard, offering a peaceful year-round connection to the property’s mature trees, patio, pond, and natural setting. Upstairs, three bedrooms provide desirable separation from the main living areas, with the primary and second bedroom both offering dual closets. The large basement provides laundry space, generous storage and washer/dryer are included. The outdoor setting is what makes this property truly special: an expansive patio, newer deck, pond with water feature, mature trees, lake views, lake access, and room to gather, garden, entertain, or simply enjoy the land. A distinctive Waterford property with space, character, views, and a level of care that is increasingly hard to find. Updates include: Roof replacement in 2016, hot water heater in 2015, newer vinyl windows & deck, blinds in 2025, recessed lighting and more. Schedule your showing today!
