Description

Rare opportunity to own on historic Barndoor Island, Lake Winnipesaukee!! Located on the southwest side of the island, this property enjoys plentiful sunshine, broad views, and sunsets from the dock. You'll find multiple decks lakeside with a u-shape dock and breakwater, as well as spacious decking at the home offering great outdoor space. This quality summer home was built by a local craftsman and consists of three bedrooms and two full baths. The main floor has a large open concept great room with a cathedral ceiling, sliders across the entire front for taking in beautiful lake views, and a wood stove for those cooler nights. There is also a kitchen, dining area, and primary bedroom with a slider and full bath. Upstairs is an open loft area, great for a reading nook, as well as two more generous-sized bedrooms and another full bath. A bonus is a large separate laundry room, which is a rarity in an island home. Barndoor Island has a "road" in the center of the island, perfect for morning strolls, a run, or a great place to walk your furry friends. It is level and you’ll encounter fellow islanders and maybe some wildlife. Just around the corner are the Varney Islands, ideal for venturing out on a kayak or paddle board. Barndoor Island is located minutes to downtown Wolfeboro, with a brand-new full size grocery store, plenty of restaurants, shops and so much more. This one won't last!!
