Completely renovated and move-in ready, this exceptional direct waterfront retreat on Candlewood Lake combines modern updates, expansion potential, and breathtaking lake views. Originally a seasonal cottage, the home was converted to a year-round residence in 2019 with new insulation, flooring, laundry room, and half bath. Additional improvements include a private well (2022), new deck (2024), and a stunning new kitchen, windows, and siding (2025). The open living area features a beautifully updated wood-burning fireplace, custom wet bar with breakfast nook, and seamless access to the deck overlooking the water. The oversized primary bedroom offers flexibility to add a full bath or create an additional bedroom, and septic plans are available for future expansion. Set on a secluded hillside in Danbury, less than 90 minutes from NYC, this rare direct waterfront property offers unmatched privacy with no visible neighbors on either side. Surrounded by nature and towering trees, the home enjoys panoramic lake views from nearly every room. Outdoor amenities include a private deep-water dock, expansive patio, covered under-deck lounge with ceiling fans, and a lakeside terrace with storage for kayaks and water toys. Enjoy sweeping up-lake views and front-row seats to the 4th of July fireworks. With resort-style outdoor living, expansion potential, privacy, and a proven short-term rental history, this unique property is ideal as a primary, secondary or investment home.
