Set on the shores of Merrymeeting Lake, this four bedroom, two bath waterfront home has the feel of a classic New Hampshire lake cottage. Exposed beams and wood ceilings add warmth and character throughout, while a newer metal roof offers peace of mind for years to come. East facing means beautiful sunrise views across one of New Hampshire’s cleanest and most sought after lakes. Owned and loved by the same family for 50 years, this home offers an opportunity to make it your own. Whether you’re looking for a seasonal getaway or a year round retreat, enjoy that relaxed lakeside charm. An additional lot across the street offers potential to build another house or garage, subject to local approvals. Ideally located halfway between Wolfeboro and Alton Bay with easy access to the best of the Lakes Region. Two hours to Boston. Enjoy the beauty of the four seasons with hiking, golf, skiing, snowmobiling, and more! DELAYED SHOWINGS until OPEN HOUSES on Saturday May 23 and Sunday May 24 from 11am to 1pm.
