A wonderful country home that sits in the quintessential town of Elkins NH, home of beautiful Pleasant Lake. Walk to the beach, sit by the firepit, kayak out to Blueberry Island at first light, or under the full moon. This is a wonderful family home or vacation getaway. The full eat in kitchen will feed the troops, a large dining room is perfect for Thanksgiving dinner and a quiet living room is separate from the large family room and bonus room which is great for playing ping pong or perhaps a great office. The master bedroom has lots of windows and a lovely master bath and closet. The two remaining bedrooms have their own bath. The best fried chicken in the state is just down the street. Morning coffee on the front porch has a beautiful view of the waterfall and lovely walking park across the way and the bandstand has summer concerts. You do not even have to leave your front porch. Seller would prefer November 30th closing date.
