About this home

Just a quarter mile from access to a sandy beach on Lake Kanasatka, this Cape sits on 1.66 private, acres wrapped in trees and birdsong. It's the kind of peaceful setting that makes a lake access home feel like an actual escape, and it comes updated with newer siding (2021), a newer roof (2019), and a newer furnace (2016). A standby generator installed in 2024 means the comfort never skips a beat, and the farmer's porch that was added in 2021 is the spot for morning coffee before that short stroll down to the water. Inside, 1,701 square feet offers room to gather without losing that cozy feel. Nearly the entire interior wears a fresh coat of paint. A mix of hardwood and tile floors run through the main living areas, and an open kitchen and living area keeps everyone in the conversation, and a wood stove and pellet stove keep things warm through the colder months when those wintertime activities have you outside playing in the snow. Three bedrooms and two full baths mean plenty of room for family and friends who'll want an invitation back. A dedicated office (or hobby room) rounds out the floor plan of the main level. Outside, the grounds have been lovingly tended over the years: an established blueberry patch ready for summer picking, an ornamental Japanese maple anchoring the landscaping, and a firepit made for evenings under the stars. Two levels of back decks extend your outdoor living even further, and a two-car garage plus space for three to five more vehicles leaves room for the boat, the kayaks, and everyone's cars when the whole crew comes to visit. This is Moultonborough at its best: Kanasatka's calm, clear water without the crowds of Winnipesaukee, Castle in the Clouds and the Lakes Region's mountains minutes away, and a small-town pace that slows the clock down. Whether it's an early morning loon call or a late-night one from the porch, this is more than just a lake house, it’s a home.
