Property Description
The Briarcliffe Cottage at Lake Hayward is a beautifully renovated year-round retreat on a private 0.70-acre lot surrounded by mature trees. This thoughtfully updated 3-bedroom home blends timeless cottage charm with modern comfort. Inside, you'll find beautifully refinished hardwood floors, abundant natural light, a warm living room with a classic brick fireplace, and a stunning remodeled kitchen featuring butcher block countertops, a farm house sink, subway tile backsplash, and brand-new stainless steel appliances. The sun-filled dining room offers peaceful woodland views with seasonal glimpses of the lake. Major improvements include a new septic system and leaching fields, a beautifully remodeled bathroom, main-floor laundry, a wraparound porch, a large storage shed, and plenty of parking. Enjoy everything Lake Hayward offers, including three private beaches, kayaking, canoeing, fishing, tennis, pickleball, basketball, a playground, pavilion, and seasonal community events. The low annual POALH supports the beaches, recreational facilities, parking and common areas, community activities, and weekly trash pickup. Unlike a traditional restrictive HOA, POALH does not have the typical architectural restrictions buyers may associate with an HOA. Home renovations/improvements generally follow Town of East Haddam requirements, with POALH primarily concerned with building lines and protecting lake views. Enjoy lake life without the expense and hassle of major renovations.
