About This Home

WATERFRONT! Rustic year-round post-and-beam Cape Cod home featuring an incredible 405 feet of direct waterfront on beautiful Lake Hayward. Designed for classic lakeside living, the main floor boasts a vaulted kitchen, full bath, and an open-concept living/dining area highlighted by a stunning fieldstone fireplace. French doors open out to a full-length enclosed rear sunroom, offering front-row seats to breathtaking views and vibrant sunsets. The upper-level features 2 to 3 oversized bedrooms with vaulted ceilings and character-defining dormers that maximize natural light and floor space. Beyond the main house, the impressive grounds feature a historic 1920 boathouse equipped with 1 bedroom, a half bath set-up and auxiliary propane heat, along with a detached 2-car garage and 2 dedicated storage sheds. The sprawling yard and private shoreline offer direct access for swimming, boating, and relaxed outdoor entertaining. Rich in local history, this home was long the cherished summer gathering place of the Cragin Family, namesakes of Colchester's Cragin Memorial Library. The sale encompasses the primary home along with three additional adjacent lots ~ Map 80/Lot 468 (0.64 acres), Map80/Lot 412 (0.15 acres), and Map 80/Lot 413 (0.35 acres with 2-car garage) ~ providing exceptional combined acreage and privacy.
