Lake life made easy! This charming Lake Beseck cottage offers seasonal water views and a short stroll to the beach-so your weekends can start with a swim, a paddleboard ride, or a sunset picnic without ever packing the car. Whether you’re simplifying full-time or craving a weekend retreat, this home delivers a lifestyle that feels like vacation every day. Wrapped in a white picket fence and surrounded by lush perennial beds, the property is a gardener’s dream. Tomatoes and cucumbers are already thriving in the food garden, and the back deck is the perfect place to grill and unwind under the stars. Inside, it’s the "just-right" size-cozy, comfortable, and smartly laid out. A classic fireplace adds warmth and charm, while a Murphy bed provides flexible guest space. Recent updates include a new roof and gutters, insulation, an energy-efficient mini split for heating and cooling, and EV charger wiring-so the big stuff is already done. And when you want to venture out? You’re just minutes from apple picking and golf at Lyman Orchards, skiing and concerts at Powder Ridge, and all the local flavor that makes central Connecticut so special. Manageable, move-in ready, and full of charm-this sweet cottage invites you to plant your roots, grab your kayak, and enjoy the best of indoor-outdoor, lake-area living.
