About This Home

As of June 2021

A beautiful cottage in the woods! Enjoy your own retreat with a landscaped backyard abutting peaceful woodlands and town open space. Large front windows brighten the living room's floor-to-ceiling fieldstone fireplace, and overlook a peaceful horizon and face the sunrise. A summer-delight or year-round comfort, this home is within walking distance from hiking trails in the Lower Paugussett State Forest which follows the banks of Lake Zoar for scenic hiking. Spend lazy summer days on the beach or swimming off the back of your boat! Eichler's Cove is also a short walk away, offering a town-owned beach, marina, boat launch and picnic area. With its hardwood floors and exposed beams in the vaulted ceiling, this house is both rustic and comfortable, settled back from the street, and sits waiting for your personal touch. Enjoy evergreens in the winter and fall, and watch bulbs bloom in the spring and perennials blossom during the summer. From this rural setting, residents can quickly access Route 84, or take Route 34 into New Haven or Route 111 toward I-95. Shopping, restaurants, and more are a short drive away. Town parks, schools, and municipal facilities are also just a few minutes away.
