Lilac Hill at Lake Waramaug takes you back to the enchanting Gilded Age of waterfront lifestyle. From the moment you pass through the oversized Dutch entry door connecting the full-length exterior screened porch to the exquisitely crafted interior, you recognize you have entered into a very special place. The original late nineteenth century woodwork is astounding and includes unmilled, round timbers crafted into the railings that guide the stairs and frame a square balcony on the upper level. The open main-level living and dining spaces are anchored by a classic lake house fireplace; an exposed stone chimney stretches up from its grand firebox to the second floor ceiling. There are 4 bedrooms on the upper level, as well as a spacious sitting area with French doors opening to a balcony overlooking the lake. Magnificent period character abounds, yet the bathrooms, kitchen and mechanical systems have all been updated to a standard of comfort that satisfies the most demanding modern needs. This home's rich detail and charm, together with long western views across Waramaug, are just part of the equation. The expanded and Trex resurfaced dock situated in deeper water has a grandfathered boathouse to complete this amazing lakefront experience.
