Lakes region living! Close to Lake Winnipesaukee, Merrymeeting Lake, Alton, Wolfeboro, and the White Mountains. A private, waterfront setting on Downing Pond, only steps from your back porch. The owners transformed this 1958 home over the past four years years with updates including: new walls, siding, insulation, Matthew Brothers vinyl windows, Velux skylights, appliances, patio doors, wiring, garage doors, front door, and flooring. The Master and laundry rooms are conveniently located on the first floor. The kitchen has a new, sharp look with tiled backsplash, new range, refrigerator, and microwave. Looking for storage... checkout the unfinished space above the two-car garage - big enough for storage and extra room. Plus there's a third garage in back for water toys and yard tools. The two covered porches are the hidden gems for this house, great for entertaining and relaxing... and just a stones throw from the water. A super location for fishing, kayaking, and swimming.
