Property Description

Welcome to your whimsical lakefront paradise on magnificent Lake Oscaleta! This charming, thoughtfully updated 1930s cottage offers a rare and magical opportunity to experience true waterfront living. Perfectly positioned right at the water’s edge, this two-bedroom, one and a half bath room retreat beautifully replicates the enchanting feeling of living on a houseboat, surrounded by panoramic nature and water views. Step inside to find a bright and cheery, modern kitchen equipped with new stainless steel appliances and an open dining area designed for seamless entertaining against a backdrop of spectacular lake vistas. The spacious living room serves as the heart of the home, featuring a cozy wood-burning fireplace that promises warm winter evenings. Transition easily into the adjacent enclosed sun porch, a serene space where you can savor morning coffee or unwind with sunset views over the tranquil waters. Outdoor living is unmatched here. Step out onto the large deck perched directly at the water’s edge, or enjoy the sweet, private patio located right off the kitchen—ideal for al fresco dining. A standout feature of this property is the separate, detached boathouse with a private dock. This unique structure offers endless future possibilities: perhaps an inspiring lakeside home office, a quiet artist's studio, or a spectacular recreation space. Lake Oscaleta is a pristine freshwater haven connected by direct water channels to both Lake Waccabuc and Lake Rippowam. Enjoy year-round recreation right from your backyard—swim, boat, kayak, fish, or ice skate. Whether you are seeking a full-time residence or a peaceful weekend escape from the city, this amazing home provides an unparalleled lifestyle. A very special and rarely available offering—you won’t want to miss this one!
