About this home
Beautifully sited along 312 feet of shoreline on Franklin Pierce Lake, this renovated c.1800 New England Cape on 2.6 acres is positioned to capture expansive water views, changing light, and the natural beauty of its mature landscape. Thoughtfully expanded and updated, the 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home preserves its historic character while offering the functionality expected for year-round living. Wide pine floors, abundant natural light, and decorative fireplaces create warm, inviting interiors. The gracious living and dining rooms are complemented by a lakeview deck, while the chef's kitchen features stone countertops, custom cabinetry, a dedicated pantry and baking station, generous workspace, and a built-in breakfast banquette overlooking the grounds. Framed by magnificent mature sugar maples, the property enjoys broad views across open water. From sunrise to moonrise, changing light reflects across the lake, creating exceptional views. A private dock and direct access to swimming, boating, kayaking, paddleboarding, and fishing, loons calling and eagle sightings, all in this remarkable natural setting. A 30' x 30' attached garage and a boathouse provide space for vehicles and recreational equipment. A separate one-car garage and hobby shed offer additional flexibility for gardening, woodworking, or a private studio. Expansive lawns, established gardens, central air conditioning, and a whole-house generator complete the property. Designed for every season, the home offers effortless summer enjoyment and winter recreation, including skating, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing on and around the lake. (An adjacent 1.1-acre parcel with an additional 147 feet of shoreline is available as a separate purchase. See MLS#5103501, 000 W. Main Street, $499,000. Together, at $2,399,000, these properties create a remarkable lakeside estate with enhanced privacy, or a multigenerational retreat in the Monadnock Region of southwestern New Hampshire.)
