Perched on the eastern shore of Squam Lake, this timeless family retreat offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of lakeside history. Built in 1898 and owned by the same family ever since, set on 1.375 acres, the property captures breathtaking sunrise views and features just over 200 feet of waterfront, an oversized seasonal dock and nice level seating area at the water's edge, detached garage, storage shed, and a screened porch perfectly positioned to overlook the water. The home offers 4 bedrooms and 2 baths, including a first-floor bedroom with ensuite bath, ideal for guests or single-level living. Upstairs are three additional bedrooms along with a classic sleeping porch, perfect for summer nights falling asleep to the water lapping on the shore and the loons calling out. Rich with charm and nostalgia from another era, the home presents an exceptional opportunity to restore, renovate, or enjoy as the beloved family getaway it has been for generations. A newly designed 7-bedroom septic plan provides exciting potential for future expansion or redevelopment. Conveniently located in Holderness, the property is nearby Squam Lake Marketplace, Walter's Basin, and the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center. The property also offers easy access to shopping, dining, and recreation in both Plymouth and Meredith just minutes away. Whether preserved in its historic character or transformed into a stunning lakefront estate, this is a rare chance to own an iconic piece of Squam Lake history.
