If you are looking for a spacious, move-in-ready 3BR, 2.5BA home with complete water access on Lake Winnipesaukee, this is the home for you. This is a meticulously maintained colonial in the highly sought after Colonel Tufton Borough Estates, a premier neighborhood nestled in the heart of peaceful Melvin Village with only 30 homes. This home has many charming features such as ceiling beams, wood detail, exposed brick, and gleaming hardwood floors. The first floor has an open, large custom kitchen with granite countertops and center island, that flows into the dining room and a large screen porch. The centerpiece of the living room is a wood stove. Included is a custom space built as an art studio attached to the two-car heated garage, and there is another large living/sleeping/office space above the garage. On the second floor you will find the primary bedroom en suite with a 3/4 bath and two additional bedrooms and a full bath. Large front and rear patios will welcome your guests, who can also use the tiled outdoor shower to keep sand out of the house after a day at the association's beach and docks. The Estates also offers an outstanding boating setup with 8 docks, 8 moorings, and 3 jet ski docks that are available through a well-managed, annual lottery system. No impossible waiting lists here! Access to a dock or mooring is guaranteed no less than every other year if demand exceeds availability; however, not all owners participate and most of the current owners have successfully secured a boat slip or mooring every year. This is an opportunity to create a home and lake lifestyle where memories are made for years to come. This home is a must see!
