About this home
Welcome to 771 Prospect Rd, an East Mountain retreat. This 1941 Cape Cod sits on a quarter-acre lot in Waterbury with three bedrooms, two full baths, and room to spread out on every level. The main floor flows from a bright living room into the dining room and a kitchen with granite counters, stainless steel appliances, and a breakfast bar nook overlooking the yard. Two bedrooms and a full bath with a walk-in glass shower complete the level. Upstairs, the primary suite sits under a beamed ceiling with a large skylight, next to a bath with a freestanding soaking tub. Warm wood ceilings and exposed brick give the den its character. It is staged as a bedroom today and works just as well as a sitting area for the suite. Downstairs, the finished basement is made for movie nights, with space for theater seating and a bar area. Outside, the fenced backyard is built for entertaining: a deck with room for grilling and outdoor dining, a screened gazebo with a ceiling fan, a stone fire pit, and a storage shed. A one-car garage and natural gas heat round out the home. The home sits in Waterbury's East Mountain area, a wooded, tree-lined setting a short drive from the 18-hole East Mountain Golf Course, with easy highway access.

East Mountian, located between Lakewood Lake and the Wolcott town line, is a hillside and residential Waterbury neighborhood with wooded ridgelines and reservoir views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Lakewood Road corridor near Lakewood Lake, where trailheads, small local services, and a steady flow of walkers set the tone. Housing leans toward mid-century colonials and ranches on curving streets, with pockets of newer builds tucked into the slopes. Mattatuck State Forest frames the edge with long, quiet routes for hiking and biking. Lakewood Lake Park adds shoreline paths and open lawns that shape daily routines. The setting feels removed from downtown’s grid, with a landscape-first rhythm.
