Historic Lakefront Retreat 1 Hour from Boston

Seasonal Dock | 2500 Sq Ft | Private Getaway Escape to a forested New England sanctuary where 19th-century charm meets stunning architectural design. Located directly on the water, this one-of-a-kind home offers panoramic lake views, historic character, and inviting scenic quiet. The original rooms date back to 1810, leading to a post-and-beam addition hand-built by an MIT architecture professor. Because this is a cherished family home, guests enjoy curated, premium touches throughout. -- THE PROPERTY -- NH M&R LICENSE 102801 Lake views anchor nearly every room in the house. Enjoy a casual breakfast in the eat-in kitchen or gather for a shared meal in the formal dining room. In the warmer months, the screened porch is perfect for a meal backdropped by 270-degree lake views. The expansive living room features a wall of French doors framed by warm fairy lights that amplify the historic New England ambiance. Watch the seasons change from the year-round sunroom. "Please note that in the lower-level bedroom, the upper bunk on the queen bunk bed is only suitable for children." Each bedroom has custom architectural character, with classic dormer windows and sloping ceilings that honor the home’s history. The lower level’s dedicated media room has a massive sectional couch perfect for daytime or nighttime screenings. Your path to the water is just a few steps down from the back door. Step out onto your large private dock (available in the spring and summer) to drink your morning coffee, sunbathe, or watch the peaceful motion of the water reflecting the big New Hampshire sky. Local wildlife is abundant; keep an eye out for great blue herons, egrets, and the occasional osprey. When you’re ready to cool off, dive right in for a swim, lounge on the provided water rafts, and end the evening watching spectacular, unobstructed sunsets.
