Some homes you tour. This one, you fall for. The moment you walk through the front door and catch your first glimpse of the lake shimmering in the distance, you can't help but smile. That's just what happens here. This lovingly cared-for five-bedroom, six-bath lakefront retreat on Franklin Pierce Lake offers 201 feet of pristine waterfront with views of the cove and the hills in the distance. At the heart of the home is an expansive living room / great room, with floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the lake, and a Harman pellet stove for cozy nights in. The gourmet kitchen blends rustic charm with true lake house character, the kind of space where morning coffee and big celebration dinners feel equally at home. Just off the kitchen, a sunroom opens right onto the lawn, blurring the line between indoor and outdoor living. The primary suite is a retreat of its own: dual vanity suites connected by a beautiful shared soaking tub. Three bedrooms upstairs offer plenty of space for family and guests. And thoughtfully, the home is fully handicapped accessible, so it welcomes every generation of your family comfortably, for years to come. There's even a one-bedroom in-law apartment which is ideal for extended family, guests, or multigenerational living. Outside, the lawn rolls right down to the water's edge, the perfect spot for yard games, summer entertaining, and evenings with friends. The shoreline itself is set up for every kind of lake day, with a perch beach, a dock with a lift, and a jet ski lift ready to go. But it's the lake itself that steals the show. On any given day, you might catch an eagle swooping along the beach, loons gliding through the cove, or as the sun sets each evening you might see a beaver paddling past the shoreline, to say goodnight. There’s also no shortage of storage: a three-car attached garage, and a 2-car detached garage with a workshop. As summer eases into fall, this lake life is waiting for you. Come make the most of every season here.
