HIGHEST AND BEST BY MONDAY 11/11 at 8PM. Great opportunity to own a home near Crystal Lake. From the new roof to the refinished hardwood floors and new carpeting, this expansive ranch has been refreshed from top to bottom. New appliances sparkle in the updated kitchen. And both full baths are updated as well. A flexible layout includes formal dining room, a kitchen with breakfast bar open to the light filled living room/den, a second living room is across the main entry hall and features a beautiful, classic stone fireplace. An additional three season sunroom with gleaming hardwoods provides access to the lightly wooded backyard. The finished lower level has a separate entrance, plenty of natural light, the convenience of a full updated bath with laundry hookup, and a kitchenette. There is central air and a under house garage. A renovated wood deck in front will welcome your guests or be the perfect spot for a morning coffee or an evening cocktail. This home is perfect for nature lovers, with plenty of opportunities to watch wildlife in the woods and on the lake. And yet, it is close to Hartford, UConn and Springfield.
