    Cute two bedroom, one bath home in the Shaw Pond community. It is a short walk to the community beach and picnic pavilion on Shaw Pond, which allows motor boats, but is quiet enough for kayaking and canoeing.. There is a small screened porch and a nice sized deck. Quiet neighborhood, near to Jacobs Pillow, Tanglewood and several state forests and other lakes, yet only an hour to Hartford,
