House Description

Tucked away on 2 peaceful acres in the heart of Melvin Village, Brookside Cottage Circa 1854 has been beautifully brought back to life through a thoughtful renovation and redesign that blends historic charm with modern upgrades. Conveniently located on the main road into town, the property boasts 500 feet of waterfront along scenic Wingate Brook, which flows directly into Lake Winnipesaukee. This tranquil, retreat-like setting is framed by a gently meandering waterway, peaceful wooded views, and the soothing sounds of flowing water. An oversized boulder rock firepit, surrounded by rustic cut-tree benches, creates a warm and inviting gathering space that blends naturally into the landscape. Currently operating as a thriving Airbnb, this unique property was updated to offers exceptional versatility and a flexible floor plan that rents as 2, 4, or 6-bedroom homes each with separate private entries kitchen living dining and abundant separate off street parking configurations. Great option to live in one side and rent out the other for rental income. Zoned for both residential and commercial use, Brookside Cottage has successfully served as a private residence, as prior business boutique shop out of the barn, prior bed & breakfast, and now income-producing getaway. The attached 31’ x 33’ barn expands the possibilities even further with a garage, workshop, possible wedding venue, storage space, and an impressive loft entertaining room ideal for gatherings, recreation, stylish glamping barn or creative space. Ample parking in two separate areas makes hosting guests easy and convenient. Enjoy the best of the Lakes Region lifestyle just minutes from town beaches, two marinas, and a public boat launch, while being only 15 minutes to Wolfeboro for shopping, dining, and year-round activities. Whether you are looking for a charming waterfront retreat, investment opportunity, or flexible live/work property, Brookside Cottage is truly one of a kind. Schedule your showing today!
