A rare Waterford Colonial offering lake views, privacy, and 1.28 acres directly across from Watkins Lake. Impeccably maintained by the same owner for over 36 years, this 4-bedroom, 2-bath home blends classic character with meaningful updates and exceptional outdoor space. Inside, the home features hardwood floors, a living room with natural fireplace, formal dining room, and a convenient first-floor bedroom. The updated kitchen includes granite counters, tile backsplash, pantry, newer stainless steel appliances, and washer/dryer included. A sunlit four-season room overlooks the private backyard, creating a serene year-round retreat with beautiful views of the setting. Upstairs, three bedrooms provide desirable separation from the main living areas, with the primary and second bedroom both offering dual closets. The large basement includes a laundry area and generous storage. Updates include roof replacement in 2016, hot water heater in 2015, newer vinyl windows, newer deck, 2025 blinds, recessed lighting, and more. The outdoor space is the standout: expansive patio, pond with water feature, mature trees for privacy, lake views, and room to gather, garden, relax, or simply enjoy the land.
