Lakefront living takes center stage at this New Bedford cottage, where the backyard opens directly to the water and your own dock creates an incredible setting for enjoying life by the lake. Expansive windows and doors bring the water views into the main living space, while the deck extends the experience outdoors with a front-row seat to the shoreline. Inside, the kitchen features stone counters, a large island with seating, stainless steel appliances and a gas range, flowing into a spacious living area anchored by a fireplace. The flexible layout offers three bedrooms, two full baths and a bonus room, including a second-floor primary with a walk-in closet and private bath. A fenced yard, patio, storage shed and detached garage add even more versatility. Whether spending summer days on the water, relaxing on the deck or simply taking in the view, this is a rare opportunity to make waterfront living part of everyday life.
