This custom cape style home is sited on 5 private acres nicely set back from the road. It is a short drive to Crystal Lake, Manning Lake and the “big lake”, Winnipesaukee for all of the swimming, boating & fishing enthusiasts! The long circular driveway provides plenty of parking with ample space for recreational toys and/or building your dream garage, if desired. There are also many walking/hiking trails as well as Gunstock Ski Mountain just one town away! Upon entering the home, you are greeted with a spacious foyer, gleaming pine floors and powder room. The open layout creates a wonderful space for entertaining with a well appointed kitchen with newer ss appliances and granite countertops. The first floor also offers a large living room with wood burning fireplace and built-ins, dining area, family room with wood stove and sliders leading to a deck and screened porch. Completing the first floor is an enormous primary bedroom with TWO walk in closets and a sizable en-suite with jacuzzi tub. Ascending to the second floor, you will find two more generous sized bedrooms and a spacious bonus room with another full bath. Several updates, including a new furnace and hot water heater, are noted in the attached Sellers Dislosures. Meandering through the bucolic town of Gilmanton, it is clear why New Hampshires' Lakes Region is such a desirable place to live and play! **Note - Square footage is an approximate based on Owners measurements.
