About this House
Escape to your own slice of paradise in this sun-drenched ranch, perfectly situated in the beautiful Lake Chaffee Association. Enjoy the ease of one-story living in this cozy home. Beautiful tongue-and-groove wood paneling provides a cottage charm while keeping the rooms flooded with natural light. Currently a 2-bedroom home, the flexible layout can easily be configured back to 3-bedrooms. An energy efficient pellet stove in the living room helps keep your heating expenses down. Home features a newer roof, central air conditioning and newer leach field (replaced 5 years ago). Storage opportunities abound in the full, dry basement with access to the garage and under the deck. Plenty of space for yard tools and TOYS! As part of the lake association, you are steps away from your private lake access offering two beaches, a boat launch and a fishing pier. Gas engine boats are strictly prohibited on the water which helps keep the water clean and a great environment for kayaking, paddleboarding, or swimming. Lake Chaffee is convenient to UCONN, I-84, Boston and NYC. Whether you are looking to downsize, purchase a weekend getaway, or find a permanent sanctuary, this nature lover's dream is ready for its next chapter. Closing subject to sellers ability to find suitable housing. Professional photos coming soon!

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThere was and is nothing good about EOS. I was told by a guidance counselor my sophomore year that I would probably not graduate high school, let alone go to community college. From that point I was excluded from ECE and AP classes and even removed from my honors classes. I was excluded from classes that were required for college admissions (chemistry being one). I was a first gen student (my mom is an immigrant) and we knew nothing about the college process and clearly, guidance was unwilling to help. If you are not wealthy, have a strong last name or parental influence in the school and are not an athlete you will be left in the dark. Please save your kids from going to this school and being forgotten. Send them to Coventry, Windham/ Windham Tech or East Catholic or a prep/ CREC school if at all possible. If you can’t avoid EOS and you are a parent, fight for your kid and get outside college admissions assistance so you can help set your student up for success without depending on EOS staff. Sincerely, A class of 2017 grad (who proved EOS wrong and went to college and is now in grad school (: )Other Review4y ago - Ashford School
