About this home
215 North Shore Road, New Durham, NH: A Lakeside Paradise Nestled on the shores of Merrymeeting Lake, one of the top three cleanest lakes in New Hampshire. This property is nothing short of special. This home offers stunning views while being protected from the elements. Facing south, the house enjoys abundant sunshine all day long and features a sandy beach area perfect for relaxation. Pleasant Cove is a favorite spot for loons, who are frequently seen in the cove due to its calm waters. As you drive down the tree-canopied driveway, you instantly relax. The property boasts multiple outdoor areas designed for enjoyment and comfort. The large deck, with both covered and uncovered sections, extends your living space during the summer. In the late afternoons, the platform near the dock becomes a favorite spot to unwind. The house itself is in pristine condition, (many updates done in 2020) featuring 3 BR's and three and a half baths making it ideal for YR living. No painting or mowing is needed, epitomizing carefree living at its best. A whole-house generator & central AC ensure comfort. For those who love outdoor activities, this home is perfect. The fire pit is a beloved spot, especially on spring and fall nights, providing a cozy place to gather. Across the lake, conservation land protects the land, ensuring the natural beauty remains untouched. Skiing, hiking, shopping, and restaurants are all nearby. Enjoy all 4 seasons. Showings begin at the open house on 6/1/24. 11-2.

What a special Merrymeeting Lake front property !! Meticulously maintained and plenty of privacy in a small cove that has less boat travel and big lake views. The land is over an acre with 138' of sandy frontage and level water access, fire pit and good space for small boat storage. Walk through the blueberry bushes and enter the home through the lower level which is ready to be finished into additional living space. There's so much room and already has a wood stove installed and a long covered porch. On the main level there is open concept living space, with tons of windows to capture the beautiful view. The living room has a nice brick fireplace and it is open to the fully applianced kitchen with new granite counters, plenty of work space and again big open views. There's 3 bedrooms (2 very big bedrooms upstairs with a 1/2 bath) and small office or den on the main level. But the deck is where you'll spend most of the day. 28 x 12 with all day sun. This lake is very clean and offers 1253 acres of exploring and fun.
