Listing broker remarks

Charming Cedar Pond Waterfront Bungalow!Welcome to this adorable 3-bedroom, 2-bath waterfront bungalow nestled along the shores of beautiful Cedar Pond in Sturbridge. Full of character and thoughtful updates, this inviting home offers the perfect blend of charm, potential, and a peaceful waterfront lifestyle.Approximately 10-15 years ago, a second-story addition transformed the home by adding two spacious bedrooms and a full bath. At that time, the roof and windows were also replaced, and the home has seen electrical updates as well, providing added value and peace of mind.The first floor features an area where the previous owners began preparing for future improvements by removing a wall. The framing remains in place, offering the perfect opportunity for the next owner to bring their vision to life and customize the space to fit their needs—whether that’s creating a more open-concept layout, expanding the living area, or designing something uniquely their own.Outside, enjoy everything Cedar Pond has to offer—from relaxing mornings overlooking the water to kayaking, fishing, or simply unwinding in a serene setting. Whether you’re searching for a year-round home, a weekend retreat, or an investment opportunity, this charming property offers incredible potential in a sought-after waterfront location.Bring your ideas and make this adorable Cedar Pond bungalow your own!— Serhant
