Read the full listing description
75' of direct waterfront on Lake Zoar in Sandy Hook's Shady Rest community, with your own private dock and boat launch. Here, the lake becomes part of everyday life, whether you're boating, kayaking, or simply enjoying the view and level backyard. A screened porch, oversized deck and patio give you three distinct places to relax, dine and entertain outdoors. Inside, the oversized kitchen is a true standout, featuring a large center island with two electric Thermador cooktops, a double wall oven, generous cabinetry and counter space, and a wall of windows overlooking the water and backyard. There's plenty of room for cooking, gathering and entertaining, all with the lake as the backdrop. The main level also includes a flexible living space that can work as an office, den, playroom or whatever makes sense for the way you live. Downstairs, a garage/storage area with an exterior garage door provides convenient access to your water toys, outdoor equipment and everything that comes with lake living. The home has a new roof, along with an updated refrigerator, dishwasher, washer and dryer. There is also a dedicated connection for a portable generator. Whether you're looking forward to weekends on the water or making lake living part of your everyday routine, Sandy Hook Center is just minutes away, giving you direct waterfront living without giving up the convenience of being close to town and great restaurants.
