Set atop a 1.5-acre lot tucked among mature trees in New Hampshire's Lakes Region, this beautifully maintained gambrel-style home tells a story of pride, patience, and care. From the moment you turn onto the freshly paved driveway and pass beneath the canopy of oaks, you sense that this home has been loved. The classic gray siding, crisp green trim, and standing seam metal roof set a tone that's both timeless and built to weather every New England season. Step onto the covered Trex front porch (2018) and through the entry into a sunlit interior where rich vinyl plank floors flow through the dining and living rooms. The kitchen offers new stainless appliances, and an easy flow into the dining space. A first-floor half bath adds everyday convenience, while upstairs you'll find two comfortable bedrooms, refreshed carpeting, and a full bath that opens to peaceful wooded views. The first level gives the option of the third bedroom or office. The updates here are the kind that quietly make life easier: a brand-new Weil-McClain WGO oil boiler (July 2025), a Mitsubishi 4-zone mini-split system providing central heat and A/C, all-new energy-efficient windows (2015), central vac, and a metal roof installed in 2001. Out back, a sprawling Trex deck wraps the rear of the home, opening to a level, tree-shaded yard where summer evenings are made for grilling. Just perfect for everything from quiet Sunday mornings to lively gatherings. The standout? A detached, fully insulated 16x20 garage (2020) with 60-amp service, 14-ft overhead door with battery backup. Ideal for a vehicle, a workshop, or a hobby studio. Repaved driveway (2021) with plenty of parking, Public water and sewer, and Xfinity internet for utilities. Refrigerator, stove, washer, and dryer included. Generator, tractor, and security equipment negotiable. Minutes to the Winnipesaukee River, Webster Lake, Franklin Falls, local walking and biking trails; the true Lakes Region lifestyle.
