About This Home

BEST VALUE ON CANDLEWOOD LAKE! Completely renovated and move-in ready direct waterfront home with private deep-water dock, panoramic lake views, and expansion potential. Originally a seasonal cottage, the home was converted to year-round living in 2019 with new insulation, flooring, laundry room, and half bath. Additional improvements include a private well (2022), new deck (2024), and remodeled kitchen, windows, and siding (2025). The open living area features an updated wood-burning fireplace, custom wet bar with breakfast nook, and access to the spacious deck overlooking the lake. The oversized primary bedroom offers potential for an additional bedroom or full bath, with septic expansion plans available. Privately situated on a secluded hillside in Danbury with no visible neighbors on either side, the property offers breathtaking lake views from nearly every room. Outdoor features include an expansive patio, covered lounge with ceiling fans, lakeside terrace, kayak storage, and private deep-water dock. Enjoy sweeping up-lake views and front-row seats to the 4th of July fireworks! Less than 90 minutes from NYC, this property offers privacy, extensive updates, and a proven short-term rental history. Ideal as a primary residence, vacation getaway, or investment property. Exceptional value for direct waterfront living on Candlewood Lake!
