Set in the heart of Wayne Village, this beautiful home offers 75 feet of privately owned frontage on Pocasset Lake. Rich in character and beautifully appointed throughout, it features expansive rooms, high ceilings, and classic period woodwork. Designed to make the most of its lakeside setting, sliding doors from both the kitchen and family room open to a grassy lawn leading directly to the water. The spacious kitchen includes an island, sunny breakfast area, and separate dining space created through a thoughtful rear expansion. The enlarged living room now includes a welcoming family room, and both spaces enjoy peaceful lake views. Just off the kitchen is an open office area with a built-in desk and nearby half bath. The formal dining room, complete with wood floors and elegant wainscoting, is ideal for gatherings and entertaining. The main entrance opens to a marble-tiled foyer with one of two staircases leading upstairs, the second located off the living room. The second floor offers three spacious bedrooms and two full baths, including a primary suite with a large closet and private bath with soaking tub and separate shower. A walk-up attic with three semi-finished rooms provides excellent storage and potential for additional living space. Additional highlights include a two-car garage with storage above, a full basement with high ceilings and workshop area, and a full-house on-demand generator. Originally built in 1880, the home was thoughtfully renovated in the early 1990s with new walls, floors, upgraded windows, and a substantial first-floor addition expanding both the kitchen and living room toward the lake. Since then, it has been carefully maintained and remains in wonderful condition. Pocasset Lake is a hidden gem known for its quiet setting, limited public access, and peaceful atmosphere, all within the charm of Wayne Village.
