Description

*First showings Sat 8/1, 11:00-1:00!* Discover the timeless charm of this light-filled knotty pine cottage, nestled along the scenic shores of Sunset Lake. This is a nature lover's dream, surrounded by mature trees that provide cool shade on a .83 acre lot. A well maintained, stepped path leads to an impressive 230 feet of crystal clear shoreline. Inside you will find a fully equipped kitchen with vaulted ceilings and high windows creating a bright clean interior. Being offered almost entirely furnished as seen. The cozy rustic living room, with woodstove, offers beautiful views and the perfect place to gather after a day on the water. The cottage has a forced hot air furnace to ensure warmth on the cooler days, so your stay is enjoyable in the cooler seasons. With three total bedrooms, two with water view, there is plenty of room for family and guests to enjoy. The home's comfortable layout flows well from the living area to the spacious deck and large screened porch, certainly a favorite spot for morning coffee, evening games, listening to the loons, and enjoying the fresh air. Perhaps because there is no public access, Sunset Lake is one of the Lakes Region's hidden gems, and ranks high on cleanliness and desirability. Also, fishing on Sunset is known to be great! This peaceful escape is only 10 minutes from all that Alton Bay and Lake Winnipesaukee have to offer, restaurants, shops, boating, and then return to your very special waterfront sanctuary. Or, walk the logging road and hike up Avery Hill to pick blueberries. Alton Shores Association, just $500 a year, offers access to 5 beaches on both Sunset lake and nearby Hills Pond along with a canoe and kayak launch nearby. A level pullover up top and a paved driveway below provide parking for family and friends, and with a quick closing possible, you can start your new family memories sooner than you imagined. Listing will be in "coming soon" status until open house on August 1st.
