A CT waterfront property is set on a private peninsula

Waterfront and West Hartford are not two things that typically go together. When it comes to 71 Waterside Lane though, the amenities of West Hartford plus the serene life of living on a lake meet.

This 4-bedroom, 3.5+ bath home sits on 0.7 acres on Woodridge Lake. It’s one of only a few homes on the private peninsula and it touches water on both sides of the house with stunning lake views from every room.

The “heart of the home” is the bright and open updated kitchen, featuring ample counter space, two ovens, a gas stove, an island and separate breakfast bar, the video shows. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the large dining room and extends into the living room, where a cozy fireplace and a large bay window offer breathtaking views of the lake, photos show.

Step outside to the stone patio in the backyard, where you can end the day watching the sunset over the lake. The upper level has three spacious bedrooms and two updated full bathrooms. Also upstairs are two versatile bonus rooms, previously used as an office and exercise room, photos show.

The rooms offer many possibilities, whether you envision a playroom, arts and crafts studio, additional guest room, reading nook, or any creative space desired. The home is equipped with a plethora of eco-conscious amenities including solar panels, geothermal systems for heating/cooling/hot water, energy-efficient ventilation, high-performance windows/insulation, and rain gardens. The lakefront site also features a private boathouse, ready to house kayaks, canoes, and aquatic adventures.
