Commanding breathtaking views of Lake Winnipesaukee, this exceptional home has signs of it's original 1890s summer home but it has been masterfully transformed through a comprehensive renovation that seamlessly blends historic character with refined modern luxury. Every detail has been thoughtfully re-imagined, including a new foundation, insulation, windows, a repaved driveway, and beautifully designed outdoor living spaces, creating a home that is as timeless as it is turnkey. Spanning five bedrooms and five bathrooms, the home offers generous living spaces to house lots of family and friends, anchored by three fireplaces and crowned by a stunning new, completely private primary suite. Expansive windows frame sweeping lake views, while the wraparound porch invites you to relax and take in unforgettable sunrises, sunsets, and the ever-changing beauty of Lake Winnipesaukee. Multiple new decks and a stone patio provide exceptional spaces for outdoor entertaining and quiet moments alike. Complete with a coveted boat slip across the street, the property offers effortless access to Lake Winnipesaukee, New Hampshire's premier lake, making every day feel like a getaway. A detached barn adds charm, versatility, abundant storage, and expansion possibilities, while the connection to town sewer provides the convenience of modern infrastructure. Perfectly situated on a street known for being an ideal place for walking/running without traffic, just minutes from Glendale and all that Gilford has to offer, including marinas, beaches, Gunstock Mountain Ski Resort, shopping, dining, a world class concert venue and year-round recreation, this extraordinary lakeside retreat presents a rare opportunity to own a meticulously restored historic home in one of the Lakes Region's most sought-after locations.
