Set on 100 feet of privately owned frontage along peaceful Wadleigh Pond, this charming year round waterfront cottage feels like a true escape from the moment you arrive. Surrounded by the calm of the water and the beauty of nature, it's the kind of place where mornings begin with coffee by the pond and evenings end with sunsets reflected across the water.
Warm, inviting, and thoughtfully updated, the home is completely move-in ready, with recent improvements including newer roof and siding, updated appliances, a newer septic system, and generator -- making it easy to simply arrive and relax. Upstairs you have a large bedroom and a full bath. The home also offers additional finished space in the lower level currently used as a second sleeping area, along with flexible room for guests, hobbies, or cozy nights in after a day on the water.
Outside, the setting is just as special. A lovely gazebo overlooks the pond, creating the perfect spot to unwind, entertain, or take in the peaceful surroundings. The fenced-in yard adds privacy and convenience for pets, gatherings, and carefree summer days, while the finished insulated shed offers an additional cozy retreat for guests, remote work, or quiet afternoons by the water.
Whether you're searching for a year-round home, a weekend getaway, or a quiet retreat to reconnect with nature, this sweet cottage offers an effortless blend of comfort, charm, and waterfront living -- all within an easy drive to everyday conveniences.
