12 rose lane

This 1920 Craftsman lake cottage is located on a quiet dead-end street around the corner from the Andover Lake beach entrance. There is an optional HOA, which gives you access to the private staffed beaches and several canoe/kayak lake launches. The layout makes this cozy cottage feel open and airy. There are a ton of large windows, allowing for lake views in the winter and the feeling of living in a tree house in the summer. The lot has a generous sized yard for outdoor relaxing and entertaining, and an outdoor shower to use after a day at the beach. Beautiful stonewalls and raised gardens surround the blue stone patio. The interior was tastefully remodeled in recent years and is full of charming accents. Starting with the original wooden door, hardwood floors & exposed wood columns. The kitchen has concrete counters, lots of cabinets and plenty of room for an island. The master bedroom is huge, suited for a king size bed plus a sitting area or floor space to do morning yoga. A French door leads to the private Trex deck. The living room is the heart of the cottage with plenty of space to gather. The current dining area facing the lake with a pellet stove could be used for an office or playroom. There is a reading nook on the way to the second bedroom. A full walkout basement with laundry and storage. In addition to being so close to the lake, there are Rails to Trails trail entrances nearby. Centrally located in CT; 2 hours to Boston and 2.5 hours to New York City.
