This waterfront custom-built home with over an acre of land is a rare find in the Woodridge Lake Association community of West Hartford. This one-of-a-kind home is set back from the road and is perfectly situated to allow for water views from every window, facing Woodridge Lake in front and Wood Pond in the back. Offering direct access to the water, this property has a large yard suitable for outdoor entertaining at its finest. The professionally landscaped yard with a split rail fence and mature trees welcomes you to the property. You will love your front porch which provides gorgeous sunset views over the lake and a quiet spot to unwind in the evening. Inside you will immediately feel the appeal of the comfortable open floor plan offering livable luxury. The gracious foyer will lead you to the open kitchen, dining, and family room. You will be "WOWED!" The wall of windows overlooking the water provides the home with beautiful light & spectacular year-round views. The large kitchen includes everything you need for day-to-day living and fabulous entertaining; a large island with heated granite, high-end appliances, stainless steel, exposed stone, and a separate bar area with a beverage chiller. The kitchen is open to the inviting family room which offers built-ins, vaulted ceilings, gorgeous custom moldings, surround sound, a perfect spot for a large flat screen, plenty of space for everyone, and water views. ~Please see Additional Public Remarks/Information for more details~ The family room flows seamlessly to the open dining room which can easily accommodate your large table and sideboard and has beautiful doors leading out to your Trex deck. The deck has plenty of space for lounging, grilling, eating al fresco, or simply enjoying the views. With a retractable awning and a separate balcony area, this deck has room for everyone. Back inside, the peaceful primary suite is conveniently located on the main level and includes a huge walk-in closet, a primary bathroom with double vanity and makeup area, and direct access to the deck for your morning coffee. The primary suite offers a tranquil escape from the everyday. The nearby living room with large windows and an oversized wood-burning fireplace offers a quiet spot to watch the sunset. Just off the living room is the private office with gorgeous built-ins and a nearby separate entrance. This part of the home is where you will also find your gracious guest room and full bath. Upstairs you will find 3 spacious bedrooms, each offering a unique roofline, water views through beautiful windows, and excellent closet space large enough to make a secret hideout or reading room. You will also find your laundry room on the second level. The floor plan on the second level affords the possibility of future expansion or a primary suite without changing any rooflines or building an addition. The walkout lower level is huge! With full-size windows and a pretty door, this room has abundant natural light and can be used as a recreational area or additional living space. The lower level is big enough for your ping pong or pool table, a hang-out space, an office/homework/craft/game zone, and a kitchenette. The lower level also has a workout room, a wine cellar, a fireplace, and a half bath. This part of the home could easily be used as a teen, au pair, or in-law suite. You will find a private beach at the end of Waterside Lane with swimming, fishing, ice skating, a picnic area, and more. The Association sponsors fun events throughout the year for members only. If you want to feel as though you are on vacation every day, look no further than 70 Waterside Lane. Launch your SUP or kayak from your private dock, and enjoy the beautiful natural surroundings, all with easy access to WH Center, Blue Back Square, Hartford, NYC, & Boston, this property is simply superb. Stop by once and fall in love forever.
