Description

One-level living the way it should be. This lovingly maintained ranch sits on a quiet cul-de-sac on 1.26 acres in low-tax Tuftonboro. Three bedrooms and two full baths, with the primary bedroom having its own en suite. The family room, which includes a propane heat stove, opens into the kitchen and then to the dining and living area, giving the floor plan a natural flow. The basement runs the full length of the house. It is dry and currently used as a workshop with plenty of room left over for storage. Out front, there is a covered porch, and out back a deck and patio for grilling and enjoying the peace and quiet. Several perennial gardens add to the charm of this home. The septic system, deck, patio, and stainless kitchen appliances are all new within the last six years. This is a desirable small development across from the Town Offices. The town library and elementary school are just minutes away. There is direct access to more than 300 acres of trailed conservation land just two houses down the street. Lake Winnipesaukee public beaches and boat launches are 5 minutes away. This home offers a perfect location for year-round or seasonal enjoyment.
