48 Tinker Hill Rd, New Preston Marble Dale, CT 06777

Perfectly sited on a gorgeous hilltop setting above Lake Waramaug -- the most desirable lake in Connecticut -- this exceptional offering features a bright and airy main residence with phenomenal water views, a wraparound bluestone patio, 150-ft of frontage with private dock, private sandy beach, and a powered waterfront storage shed.Deeply set back from the road, the property boasts complete privacy compared to most lakefront properties, but with equally dramatic views of the lake and the ever-changing foliage of the distant hills. Completely rebuilt in 2007, the three-bedroom, two-bath house exudes a happy, bright, fresh and "beachy" feeling that can only be found in lakefront living. The window-wrapped main level has an open concept layout with immaculate hardwood flooring throughout, nine-foot ceilings and spacious rooms for easy entertaining. The heart of the home is a spacious gourmet kitchen -- with stainless steel appliances, concrete counters, and abundant cabinetry, center island with vegetable prep sink, and breakfast bar -- that opens to a large combined living/dining room with wood-burning fireplace and sliders to the dual-level bluestone patio... and the fabulous views. A full bath and two guest bedrooms -- each with their own spectacular views -- also comprise the main level, along with a separate laundry room off the entry foyer with built-ins.The second level master bedroom suite allows top-of-the-hill lake vistas from its own balcony, a walk-in closet, white marble bath with dual sink and double shower. Other highlights include a three-car detached garage with loft storage, generator hookup, a brand-new septic and new well.Minutes from bespoke shops and restaurants, and 80 miles from NYC, the property can be enjoyed both as a year-round residence or as an ultimate indulgent weekend getaway for large-scale entertaining, boating, fishing and a variety of other water/outdoor activities of your choice.
