Located on the west shore of Connecticut's largest natural lake with an enviable 260' of water frontage and stunning year-round lake views, this lovingly cared for antique retains much of its original details plus updated mechanicals, electrical wiring and an addition that can be used as an in-law wing with its own separate entrance. At nearly 1.5 acres, the property boasts a 2-story lake structure with dock and lakeside picnic area, a 5-bedroom farmhouse with hardwood flooring, formal dining room, living room with wood burning fireplace, possible first floor Master Bedroom suite, both an enclosed and screened porch, and a large deck for sunning and entertaining. The expansive flat lawn is bordered by a stone wall and abutted on one side by Alain White Memorial conservation land with wooded privacy, and on the other by Bantam Lake. The house feels light, airy and spacious, and offers magnificent views of the lake and the countryside surrounding -- the perfect setting for casual lakeside living. Just 10 minutes to the historical Litchfield Green and 2 hours from NYC in the beautiful Litchfield Hills. Bantam Lake is 947 acres, home to two beaches, and is a designated "Heritage Lake" -- a lake considered to be an environmental asset of statewide importance. The lake offers year-round fishing, boating, and many other water activities, and is surrounded by 4,400 acres of White Memorial Conservation Land with extensive hiking trails.
