This 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath lakeside cottage is a rare opportunity to own direct waterfront on sought-after Lake Maspenock—where homes like this rarely come on the market. Enjoy boating, fishing, and swimming right from your private dock. Inside, the open main level features hardwood floors, recessed lighting, a cozy wood stove, and multiple decks perfect for entertaining or relaxing lakeside. Upstairs offers two bedrooms with private balconies and a spacious family room that could easily serve as a third bedroom or creative studio. The walkout basement includes laundry hookups and a flexible workshop or maker space. Lovingly maintained and full of character, this home is move-in ready—but also a blank canvas for those with vision. Whether you're an artist, designer, or just dreaming of your own custom retreat, this is an extremely rare chance to create something truly special on the water.- Please see the VIDEO under virtual tour
