10 Snug Harbor Drive

This quintessential storybook lake house is a rare find in southern Candlewood Lake, offering a lifestyle unlike any other listing in the area with coveted deeded dock rights and no waiting list. Nestled in a peaceful and tranquil end of the lake, the home is part of a private beach community shared with only eight other residences. The home's interior boasts an open and inviting floor plan designed for effortless entertaining, beginning with a charming center hall which leads to a large dining room perfect for buffet dinners. Adjacent to the dining area, a light-filled living room with a signature bay window provides a warm welcome. The heart of the home is a timeless designer kitchen featuring new stainless-steel refrigerator and induction range, perfect for preparing romantic dinners enjoyed on the private mahogany deck or over cocktails on the charming garden patio. Entering through French doors, the home's true show stopper is the magnificent great room, which features ribbed beam ceilings, library built-ins, and a soaring 17-foot stone fireplace that creates the perfect atmosphere to curl up with tea and/or a book. With wood floors throughout, the layout offers four bedrooms, including two flexible first-floor rooms that can easily serve as an office and/or in-law space with access to a sweet vintage full bath. Upstairs, you will find two additional bedrooms and a conveniently located laundry area. The functional lower level includes a brand-new half bath, a tidy workout room, and a spacious garage, while the entire house comes wired for a plug-in generator for added peace of mind. The exterior is just as enchanting, featuring a newer architectural roof, fresh paint, and stunning grounds that resemble "Shangri-La". There are two outbuildings including a 2nd car garage and potting shed. Walking paths wind through gorgeous mature landscaping, including red maples, cherry trees, dogwoods, and a vibrant collection of Montauk daisies, hydrangeas, and peonies that line the driveway. Located in Old Snug Harbor -- a private lane of only eight houses that ends directly at the water -- this retreat offers total privacy while remaining remarkably close to the highway, shopping malls, and local staples lake Stew Leonard's and Trader Joes. -- Due to multiple offers, the sellers are requesting highest and best offers by 4pm today, Tuesday, May 26th, 2026
