52 Lakeview Drive, Bethlehem, CT 06751

In the sleepy little town of Bethlehem, you will find this quaint "Sleepy Hollow" cottage. Nestled in the water community of Long Meadow Pond, you have beach access, canoe/kayak storage space and free rein to paddle, fish, swim or ice skate on this 100-acre pond. No gas motors allowed so it preserves the peace and safety (and water quality) for all to enjoy. The cottage has been lovingly restored by its owner/contractor family and is just adorable. The front porch conversion offers now a relaxing place to spread out, read a book and share a meal. Seasonal views of the lake are a bonus! The kitchen is sweet and efficient, open to the living room and propane fireplace. Bedroom on the first level, and primary on the second floor includes an office or dressing area. Back portion of yard is fenced for private El fresco dining - once housed a hot tub, and the large side yard is fantastic for yard games and gatherings. Sleepy Hollow is the perfect name given to this charmer years ago and these owners have greatly improved on it. Property was previously under contract and the septic was deemed undersized and recommended for replacement. Until just recent, this family of 3 lived there full time for 5 years with no issues. A recent inspection passed the system as functional. Forward thinking, all the work has been done except install. Testing, survey, engineer, pricing and permits (good for one year) have been paid for so the time and monies have been spent up to this point. The price has been generously adjusted to allow for the new owner to install. A mortgage broker affiliate is lined up to help w a mortgage to encompass cost if desired.
