Deep Sleep

In New Preston, a fully insulated sleeping porch is so large and sunny it's practically a third bedroom. Year-round, private views of Lake Waramaug are on display at this 1930's, completely rebuilt waterfront cottage. It offers oak floors throughout, a kitchen with top-of-the-line-appliances, custom-built closets in the master and guest bedrooms, two-zoned heat, air-conditioning and a stone fireplace. Extensive outdoor lighting illuminates the way down to the boat dock and water. Listed for $895,000 by The Matthews Group.
