About this home

"Built to endure and thoughtfully modernized, this 3,844 sq. ft. Laconia residence combines substantial construction, flexible living space, modern convenience, and authentic New England character. The huge granite chef’s kitchen features a 9-ft center island ideal for entertaining, plus a separate prep kitchen/pantry with a root cellar beneath. The main home offers 4–5 bedrooms and 3 full baths, including a master bedroom with vaulted ceiling, skylights, and two closets. Two large parlors and a spacious great room provide flexible space for dining, office, media, game room, library, or additional bedroom use. A central mudroom and two laundry areas add everyday practicality. The self-contained 1-bedroom in-law apartment has its own kitchen, living room, full bath, and heat. Keep family close while preserving privacy, reconnect it to the main house through a single interior door, or use it for rental income. Massive exposed timbers, broad-board ceilings, wide pine floors, substantial hearths, a granite center-chimney foundation, and dual-parallel-sill construction give the home remarkable character and durability. Plumbing and electrical have been upgraded; blown insulation was added; Rinnai propane heat/on-demand hot water and the roof are newer and in excellent condition. Beyond the finished living area, the barn and lower level provide approximately 1,600 additional sq. ft. for workshop, gym, recreation, hobby space, “man cave,” or storage. Outside are a nearly 1,000 sq. ft. rear deck, fenced backyard, generous parking, and additional access from Isabella Street. Close to downtown Laconia, restaurants, shops, fitness centers, everyday services, the Laconia Bypass, and I-93. The seller has owned the property since 2011, raised four children here, and is ready to work with a serious buyer. Seller financing may be available to a well-qualified purchaser."
