The Pocotopaug lake house, affectionately referred to by the family that has owned it for more than 60 years as The Cottage, is a serene sanctuary with over fifty feet of direct waterfront, a new dock and faces west offering The most beautiful sunset every evening. Purchased in 1961 as a summer home by a New Haven based couple, who had close family ties to East Hampton, as a legacy for their children and grandchildren, the property has been thoughtfully updated and winterized and served as both a year-round home as well as a vacation spot for four generations! The landholding had just one structure back then: a small cottage and fancy “outhouse”. Today, the 1,290 sq ft. cedar-shingled main residence has been redesigned to create a venue for gatherings grand or intimate. Nearly all the rooms – kitchen, LR, MBR -- overlook the Lake, as do the deck and wide windows on the second floor. The main level is appointed with a formal living room with fireplace, dining room and a chef's kitchen equipped with new appliances. Upstairs is 1 large ensuite bedroom, which serves as the Master, the main level includes 2 bedrooms and another full bath, and laundry closet. The 2-story shingle styled carriage house is an expanded version of the original design and offers multiple rooms that can be used as offices, expanded sleeping areas for the overflow of company that comes with have a summer home along with a garage.
