Maison Unifamiliale Individuelle Wolfeboro

Set high on 3.62 quiet acres above Wolfeboro, this custom 2008 home looks across Lake Winnipesaukee to the Belknap Range and Gunstock. Built for longevity, it lets you age in place with ease: an elevator serves all three floors, hallways run wide, and the first-floor owners’ suite opens to a den with a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace.

Light leads here. Southern sun fills the kitchen’s eight windows, warms seven planter boxes on the deck, and feeds the raised garden beds. An indoor potting room lets you start seeds early and grow salad greens nearly year-round. Upstairs, a parlor with Palladian windows and a gas fireplace adjoins a bright studio for quilting, painting, or quiet work.

A hickory staircase with oak banisters, pocket and French doors, built-in bookshelves, and crown moulding throughout. The owners’ bath offers a Jacuzzi soaking tub, and the kitchen’s Italian porcelain counters and walk-through pantry make cooking easy. An oversized garage with a third bay for the ATV, and the walkout lower level stands ready for a gym or wellness room.

Minutes to Main Street cafés, the farmers market, Huggins Hospital, the Cotton Valley Rail Trail, Abenaki ski area, and the town docks. A home for slow mornings, good light, and many well-lived years.
