About This Home

The Briarcliffe Cottage at Lake Hayward is a beautifully renovated year-round retreat nestled 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 farmhouse 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, wraparound porch, and a large storage shed and plenty of parking. Enjoy everything Lake Hayward has to offer, including three private beaches, kayaking, canoeing, fishing, tennis, pickleball, basketball, a playground, pavilion, and seasonal community events-all with a low annual HOA that includes weekly trash pickup. Move right in and enjoy the lake from day one-without the expense and hassle of major renovations. Welcome to The Briarcliffe Cottage at Lake Hayward.
