Lake Waramaug Shingle & Stone Cottage "Bird's Eye View" is a truly enchanting 1890s cottage, rich in character and thoughtfully updated for today's lifestyle. Perched above Lake Waramaug, the property enjoys spectacular lake views while offering an extraordinary sense of privacy on 2.4 acres, with no road noise or neighboring homes intruding on the setting. The main level centers around a newly expanded luxury kitchen featuring a generous center island with French door access to the deck, creating an effortless connection between indoor and outdoor living. A stylish built-in bar connects the kitchen to the inviting great room, where two distinctive spaces come together-one anchored by a dramatic granite hearth fireplace, and the other a former porch transformed into a charming dining room surrounded by wraparound windows which frame the breathtaking lake view. The home currently offers 3 bedrooms with the potential to add a main-level primary suite and create a 4 bedroom residence. This property truly offers the best of all worlds: an idyllic, private country setting with commanding views of Lake Waramaug, combined with the rare opportunity to enjoy a shared water frontage with a private dock. A golf cart (included in the sale) makes the journey from house to lake effortless. Stone steps lead down to the water inviting endless days of swimming, boating and lakeside enjoyment. The lake frontage is shared by 3 homes with a dedicated parking spot for 10 Perkins. Each home has the right to a dock. There is ability to tear down existing garage and build a larger garage with guest house above. Perkins Road is a private road with shared road expense with 2 other properties. The home is equipped with forced-air heat, with the option to add central air conditioning if desired. A remarkable blend of historic charm, modern luxury, privacy and coveted Lake Waramaug access, "Bird's Eye View" is a truly special retreat. See attachments for a list of recent upgrades.
