Beautifully positioned on 1.28 private acres directly across from Watkins Lake, this meticulously maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath Colonial offers picturesque lake views, timeless character, and an exceptional amount of outdoor space. Cherished by the same owners for more than 36 years, every corner reflects unmistakable pride of ownership and thoughtful care.
Inside, hardwood flooring, a natural fireplace, and a formal dining room create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The first-floor den provides flexible space for a home office, sitting room, or potential fourth bedroom. The updated kitchen blends classic style with everyday function, featuring granite countertops, a tile backsplash, pantry storage, and newer stainless steel appliances. Just beyond, the light-filled four-season room offers a peaceful place to enjoy the surrounding landscape throughout the year.
The beautifully established backyard feels like a private retreat, complete with mature trees, an expansive patio, newer deck, tranquil pond with a water feature, and ample room for gardening, entertaining, or simply enjoying the serenity of the property.
Upstairs, three comfortable bedrooms provide privacy from the main living areas, while the primary bedroom and one additional bedroom each feature dual closets.
Notable improvements include the roof replaced in 2016, hot water tank in 2015, newer vinyl windows and deck, blinds installed in 2025, recessed lighting, and more. With its meticulous condition, classic charm, lake views, and nearly impossible-to-replicate acreage, this exceptional Waterford property is ready to welcome its next owner.
