The meticulously maintained 2 bedroom plus office ranch home sits lakeside on 0.12 acres, with an additional 0.82 acres across the street offering endless possibilities for gardening, hobbies, or future aspirations. The grounds are a gardener's dream - featured in the 2024 Art & Garden Tour of Northeastern CT as the "Secret Garden," highlighting its winding paths, babbling brook, & enchanting planters. A greenhouse with electricity provides year round growing or a peaceful retreat, complemented by multiple exterior water spigots. An artist studio shed provides an inspiring space to create or display artwork.
