About this home
Completely renovated and move-in ready, this beautifully updated waterfront home offers the perfect blend of modern finishes and relaxed lake community living in the desirable Locke Lake Colony Association. Thoughtfully redesigned throughout, the home feels fresh, bright, and turnkey for its next owners. Inside, the home features a welcoming open-concept layout designed for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen serves as the heart of the home with stylish cabinetry, quartz countertops, a striking waterfall island, tile backsplash, and stainless appliances, seamlessly connecting to the living area where a gas fireplace creates a warm and inviting space. The first floor also offers the convenience of a bedroom, full bathroom, and laundry area—ideal for one-level living or accommodating guests. The second level offers large covered composite deck, the perfect spot to enjoy morning coffee. Luxury vinyl plank flooring, fresh paint, decorative trim work, and updated lighting add character throughout the home. Both bathrooms have been beautifully refreshed with bead board accents, updated vanities and fixtures, including a walk-in shower on the first floor. Major system upgrades include updated electrical and plumbing, Mitsubishi mini-splits for efficient heating and cooling, a standby generator, and a tankless propane water heater. Outdoor spaces are equally inviting with a sprawling lawn space, patio area, fire pit, and fenced yard—perfect for relaxing or entertaining. The garage has also been upgraded with epoxy flooring and climate control. Residents of Locke Lake Colony enjoy access to multiple private beaches on Locke Lake and Half Moon Lake, a marina and boat launch, tennis and basketball courts, two pools, playgrounds, and a community lodge, offering year-round recreation. Conveniently located in the heart of New Hampshire’s Lakes Region with easy access to Lake Winnipesaukee, Gunstock Mountain Resort, and nearby dining and shopping.
