Tucked into a private, wooded 2.25-acre setting just minutes from downtown Laconia, this beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath Cape perfectly blends character with quintessential Lakes Region living. The open-concept main level features warm wood-beam ceilings, wide-plank hardwood floors, and floor-to-ceiling windows that frame peaceful views. A thoughtfully designed kitchen boasts quartz countertops, glass-front cabinetry, and new stainless appliances. Year-round comfort is ensured by a propane gas stove and multiple mini-splits. The spacious primary suite serves as a true retreat, featuring a private bath with a steam shower and a generous walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms, a dedicated home office, and a two-car garage provide ample space and functionality. Outside, the back deck overlooks a tranquil stream and mature gardens alive with wildlife. For lake enthusiasts, an exceptional opportunity awaits: the seller is willing to sell a 38-foot deeded dock at the sought-after Mountain View Yacht Club in conjunction with the sale. Offered separately, this creates a rare chance to pair a private acreage retreat with a premier home base on Lake Winnipesaukee. Convenient to shopping, dining, and the Big Lake, this property offers the best of the Lakes Region from both land and water.
