About the Home

Coveted, iconic Candlewood Isle cottage has been thoughtfully reimagined as a contemporary lakehouse, just steps from the waterfront. The sun-drenched, open-concept main level features oversized wraparound windows, cathedral ceilings, and skylights, creating a light-filled sanctuary with breathtaking year-round lake views. This charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath retreat offers an exceptional opportunity to embrace the quintessential Candlewood Lake lifestyle. The finished walkout lower level provides valuable additional living space, with a versatile family room ideal for entertaining, movie-watching, unwinding after a day on the water, or accommodating overnight guests. Outdoors, a newly added wraparound bluestone patio creates the perfect setting for morning coffee and sunset gatherings. A charming Barn Yard shed offers abundant storage for lake toys, tools, and seasonal clothing and equipment. Thoughtfully updated, this lovingly landscaped property showcases a beautiful new 2025 kitchen featuring a gas range, seamlessly blending modern convenience with the warmth and character of a classic lake cottage. F or 100 years, life on Candlewood Isle had been defined by a rare sense of privacy, community, and connection to the water. Residents now enjoy an impressive array of private amenities, including a private beach, marina with available boat slips, clubhouse, tennis and pickleball courts, basketball court, playground, summer camp, and a full calendar of year-round fun
