About 281 E Shore Rd

Introducing the enchanting Windward House, a cherished lakefront gem boasting over 70 feet of prime frontage on Bantam Lake, complemented by breathtaking westerly sunset views. The residence has been tenderly maintained and enhanced through generations, blending timeless charm with modern comforts. As you step onto the covered porch and enter the great room, you're greeted by a view of expansive windows that frame the lake just beyond. The combined living and dining area is warmed by a charming red wood stove for warming on chilly nights. Adjacent to the great room, a four-season living area offers a peaceful retreat to savor the sunset's glow or lose yourself in your favorite book. The efficient galley kitchen, with its tidy breakfast nook is the perfect spot for morning reflections accompanied by a cup of coffee. Upstairs, the ambiance of lake life continues with pine paneling that exudes warmth and nostalgia. The spacious primary bedroom, a harmonious blend of two rooms, along with a second well-appointed bedroom, share a full bath. The partially finished basement presents a versatile space for entertainment or as a functional support area for all your lakeside activities. Situated in the heart of Morris, Windward House is a stone's throw from the local culinary delights, fine dining, and quaint coffee shops of Bantam, as well as the historic Litchfield town center.
