Groovy mid-century modern cottage overlooking Candlewood Lake. Don't miss this fabulous 1960's home in a private gated community only steps away from the community beach and your own boat slip. Imagine cruising to Down the Hatch or wakeboarding, tubing, jet skiing, kayaking and fishing your days away. Let the good times roll on the huge 31x12 foot covered deck with fireplace while enjoying seasonal lake views. It actually feels like you're living in a tree house! Beautiful stone walls and stonework are featured throughout the almost 1-acre low maintenance, peaceful, back to nature property. Inside, a wall of glass lights up the living room which has a refinished hardwood floor, fireplace and vaulted ceiling with beams. The spacious master bedroom also has a wall of glass looking out onto the deck along with another fireplace, hardwood floors, and vaulted ceiling with beams. A kitchen with breakfast bar for 6, a second bedroom and a retro bathroom complete the main level. Downstairs there is a roomy family room with a 4th fireplace as well as a den, a laundry room and a storage/mechanicals room. Just outside of the family room is a giant covered bluestone patio. Driveway has parking for 6+ cars. Candlewood Lake Estates is a bucolic private community/tax district with gated entry, private roads, 4 beaches and boat docks. This home is 10 minutes from downtown Sherman with its restaurants, shops, playhouse, school and tennis courts. Who would believe that NYC is 90 minutes away?
