Water & wood, timber & stone, peaceful evenings, family & the call of the loons. Welcome to this soulful, Adirondack-style lakefront paradise in a "secret hideaway" cove. Tucked away from wakes, boat traffic, w/200ft of waterfront, u-shaped boat dock, this property embodies peace, privacy, and fun; truly a Lake Winnipesaukee fantasy escape.Thoughtfully renovated in stages over the past several years, w/quality of construction & detail the final effect is one of luxury & timelessness without pretension. Portals connecting indoor/outdoor living areas abound, making this a home both inspired by & communing seamlessly w/the spectacular natural landscape surrounding it. Handsome yet unassuming from the road, with a commanding presence from the lakeside, the design offers inspirational views from almost every room. It will be hard to decide on your favorite place for enjoying a cup of coffee or curling up with a book. Dramatic architectural touches include a bank of tall windows facing the lake, beamed ceilings, 3 fireplaces, decks & patios. The kitchen designed w/home chef in mind, all the little details beautifully thought out. A butler's pantry w/abundant storage & coffee bar sits off the breakfast nook. Primary suite was recently re-configured to maximize space & dramatic views. Downstairs is eminently flexible and offers a bath & 2 sunlit rooms, a sizeable workshop that could be converted to extra living space. Convenient location by boat or by car to explore all attractions.
