About the Home

Completely renovated and move-in ready, this exceptional direct waterfront retreat on Candlewood Lake has been thoughtfully upgraded with designer finishes and modern conveniences throughout. Originally a seasonal cottage, the home was converted to a year-round residence in 2019 as part of a full renovation that included new insulation, flooring, laundry room, and half bath. Additional updates include a private well (2022) new deck (2024) and stunning new kitchen, windows & siding (2025). The main living area features a beautifully updated wood-burning fireplace, custom wet bar with breakfast nook and seamless access to the new deck-all perfectly positioned to capture breathtaking lake views. Set on a secluded hillside in Danbury, less than 90 minutes from NYC, this rare direct waterfront property offers unmatched privacy with no visible neighbors on either side. Surrounded by nature and towering trees, the home boasts panoramic lake views from every room. Outdoor living is equally impressive, featuring a private deep-water dock, expansive patio, covered under-deck lounge with ceiling fans, and lakeside terrace with storage for kayaks and water toys. Soak in the sweeping up-lake views and front-row seats to Danbury's Fourth of July fireworks from your own private oasis. With stadium-like views, resort-style amenities, exceptional privacy and a proven short-term rental history, this unique property is ideal as a primary residence, weekend retreat, or investment opportunity.
