Stunning architectural home with incredible woodwork crafted by local artisans on site, the home overlooks Winnipesaukee and has its own dock directly in front of the home and beach rights nearby. The setting is exceedingly private and has the look of a large home cape overlooking the ocean on Cape Cod. Its gray shingles and hand dipped thick cedar shingles on the roof give it that distinctive look. The granite walls and steps were reclaimed from a local church and were installed by talented local masons. There is also a surround of granite at the base of the home to create the feeling of an antique granite foundation. There is a large great room with exposed beams and direct access to a commercial grade kitchen. There is also a beautiful screened porch with glazed slate. Every room has its own charm. The lawn out front is great for get togethers, picnics, and pick up ball games. This home, in our opinion, is one of the very bestvalues out there today.
