About this home
Sunapee Lake Front Cottage with direct water frontage priced to sell. Sellers had the vision to build a new charming 2 bedroom cottage on the site. Life however has them going in a different direction. You get to benefit from this exceptional vision by viewing their renderings. If you want to leave it as a seasonal bungalow it will always be a slice of heaven with its tranquil setting with many sitting areas, including a fire pit. You have expansive views up and down the lake. The dock is large enough to accommodate all your friends and family. If you are looking for fantastic spot to make life long memories this could be your special place! Please note the water comes from the lake and although it has a heating system it is not winterized.
