Overlooking Watchaug Pond in the private tranquil community of Sonquipaug, this distinctive A-frame cottage, with seasonal water views, blends architectural charm with peaceful pond side living. Residents of the association enjoy exclusive access to boat and kayak launches, multi slip dock, private sandy beach, grassy picnic area, fishing, swimming and a cherished annual community gathering. A golf cart, included with the home, is the preferred mode of transportation to the pond. Nestled among mature trees, it has been said that the front deck of this unique cottage provides a treehouse-like perspective in summer, while winter reveals tranquil pond views and beautiful sunsets that enhance the year round appeal. Inside, the home offers two bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a loft-style retreat accessed by a ships ladder. A walk-out lower level connected inside by a spiral staircase, adds flexibility for living, guests or recreation. Andersen windows and two ductless mini-splits provide comfort throughout the seasons. In addition to the amazing community amenities, it is located under five miles to four beautiful Charlestown beaches, a short drive to Ninigret Park, Burlingame State Park and many hiking trails, allowing you to immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the area.
