Welcome to 5 Hickory Lane! This special, charming, log-inspired, Cottage/Ranch home is part of Birch Groves, a lake community bordering the sprawling, scenic Candlewood Lake. Located just minutes from schools, dining, shops and the New Milford's town "Green." Birch Groves is noted for its privacy, relaxed lifestyle, and close-knit community, and embraces both weekender and full-time residents. With the purchase of this beautiful home, you will enjoy Candlewood Lake rights, clubhouse, sundeck, sandy beach and docks, available for boating and fishing enthusiasts. Special exterior features include: beautiful, level lot with mature perennial gardens, a gazebo whose evening lights emit a peaceful glow at dusk, and a 2-car garage and ample driveway. Other recent improvements include: new roof (Dec., 2024), a bluestone path to the home's front entrance, an updated electrical system (March 2024), and new, impressive, solid mahogany front and kitchen entry doors (2024). Step inside to a gracious living room. An impressive fieldstone fireplace, enhanced with a hand-carved mantel, is a warm, impressive, distinctive focal point. The comfortable window seat and old world built-ins by the bay window allow for relaxing, reading and taking in the seasonal views. The sunny, spacious, eat-in kitchen houses stackable washer and dryer and pantry. Two additional rooms, the "office" and the "family room" are versatile spaces than can be reconfigured to meet your tastes and lifestyle.
