About This Home
Wake up to breathtaking waterfront views and enjoy the peaceful lifestyle this charming lakefront ranch has to offer. Nestled on the shores of Pickerel Lake, this well-maintained home features 2 bedrooms, 1 full bath, a newer septic system, and beautifully professionally landscaped grounds designed to make the most of its picturesque setting. Spend your mornings with coffee overlooking the water, afternoons kayaking, fishing, or boating, and evenings relaxing as the sun sets across the lake. One of Pickerel Lake's most treasured features is the expansive protected forest that spans the opposite shoreline, creating a serene, natural backdrop and a feeling of privacy rarely found on waterfront property. While the lake is peaceful and quiet, motorboats are permitted, offering the best of both relaxation and recreation. The seller is even willing to include many of the lake toys, making it easy to start enjoying the waterfront lifestyle from day one. Adding to the value, an additional .14acre lot directly across the street conveys with the property. The yard is already home to two storage sheds, the lot provides the perfect space for another outbuilding, workshop, additional parking, or simply extra room for all your recreational gear. Conveniently located just minutes from the charming shoreline communities of Old Saybrook and the Connecticut River, you'll enjoy easy access to exceptional restaurants, marinas, shopping, and year-round entertainment.
