    What's special

    Truly a MUST see to appreciate! Welcome to 240 W Lake Avenue, where timeless New England charm meets top tier craftsmanship in this full-gut makeover. This fully permitted 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home is set on a peaceful lot just minutes from Guilford's vibrant town green, scenic beaches, and historic attractions. Step inside to discover rich natural oak hardwood flooring, a whitewashed brick fireplace with granite hearth, and a custom-designed kitchen with high-end cabinetry, stylish hardware, a spacious island with seating, and built-in wine storage. Elegant finishes like designer lighting, a chic tile backsplash, and a refined color scheme deliver a look that's both stylish today and timeless tomorrow. Designed with both style and practicality in mind, the full bathroom features gleaming tile floors and a custom-built, wall-to-wall double vanity topped with luxurious quartz countertops. Each of the three spacious bedrooms offer generous closets and natural light. Downstairs, the finished lower level provides a flexible second living area, laundry room, and half bath which make it ideal for a media room, home office, or guest suite, along with a walk-out to the backyard. Every major system has been thoughtfully upgraded: new 200-amp electrical service and full rewiring, new plumbing, a heat pump with propane backup, new central air, and energy-efficient insulation throughout. The exterior boasts brand-new board-and-batten vinyl siding with cedar shake accents, new gutters drainage system, and a 6-year-old architectural roof delivering low-maintenance living for years to come. The oversized two-car garage offers generous depth and width, providing ample room for parking and additional storage. Outside, enjoy a serene, private yard perfect for outdoor dining, play, or relaxing in nature. Located just minutes from Guilford's award-winning Town Green, Jacobs Beach, and the shoreline's best restaurants, shops, and hiking trails, this home offers the full lifestyle package: quality construction, modern comfort, and the charm of coastal Connecticut living. Don't miss your chance to own a turn-key home in one of New England's most sought-after communities.
