House Description

LIFESTYLE CHANGE FOR SALE! Imagine waking up to sunrise & sparkling water views, enjoying morning coffee on a screened porch overlooking the lake & ending the day w/ a gentle summer breeze. This rare opportunity to own a beautifully restored waterfront Cape Cod cottage on desirable Lake Attitash offers not just a home, but an entirely different way of living. Warm, inviting & filled w/ character, this charming home blends original charm w/ thoughtful updates. Original wood floors, warm pine walls & a fieldstone fireplace w/ gas insert create a quintessential New England atmosphere, while enlarged windows, glass sliders & skylights bring the outdoors in & showcase breathtaking lake views from nearly every room. Updated kitchen & baths provide today's conveniences without sacrificing the home's personality. Step outside & the magic continues. The screened porch, deck & private dock capture spectacular 180-degree lake views—perfect for morning coffee, cocktails, entertaining or relaxing w/ a good book. Thoughtfully landscaped grounds provide a peaceful, private setting. Just listen to the birds singing! A dock, boat & two kayaks are included, so you can enjoy the lake immediately. Swim, waterski, fish, cruise by pontoon or speedboat, kayak, paddleboard, pedal around the lake, or simply drift along & take in the scenery. Lake Attitash is known for excellent fishing & has been featured on television by Charlie Moore, the “Mad Fisherman.” There is even a designated area to practice your golf swing & putting stroke! Or transform that space into a hot tub retreat & soak beneath the stars. A detached 2-car garage—rare w/ a waterfront property—was added in 2019 & provides space for cars, boats & lake toys. The full basement offers abundant storage & a workshop. Lake Attitash is known for clean water & abundant wildlife. Watch for swans, loons, ducks, blue herons, owls, eagles, cormorants & more. Pick wild blueberries, fish, paddle or simply relax by the water. Winter brings ice skating, ice sailing & ice fishing. This is the kind of property that invites you to slow down, have more fun & truly enjoy the life you've worked hard to create. Whether a year-round retreat, vacation home or gathering place for family & friends, this special waterfront home offers an extraordinary opportunity to embrace the lake lifestyle. Only 5 mins from Rte 495 & a short ride to Newburyport & charming downtown Amesbury. A truly special home in a truly special setting. If not now, when?
