Post and beam, and you feel it the moment you step inside. The exposed timber frame is the heart of this Gunstock Acres home, and it gives the interior a warmth and craftsmanship that newer construction spends real money trying to imitate. Open, bright, and full of character, with the kind of interior that photographs well and lives even better. The floor plan is easy to love. Two bedrooms, plus a bonus room on the lower level that adapts to whatever you need it to be. Guest space, home office, studio, den, or a spot for the kids to disappear into on a rainy afternoon. The kitchen has been refreshed with updated appliances and is ready to cook in on day one. The same owners have cared for this home and lived in it for 22 years, and that shows everywhere you look. The driveway has just been repaved. The yard is beautifully landscaped and fully established, the kind of mature planting that takes years to come in and cannot be bought at a nursery on a Saturday morning. This is a house that has been maintained rather than merely occupied. Ownership here includes membership in the Gunstock Acres Trust, which holds several acres and fronts Lake Winnipesakee with a private beach area reserved for members. Swim, paddle, picnic, or spend an entire July afternoon at the water without carrying the cost of lakefront ownership. It is one of the quiet advantages of this neighborhood, and it is the reason people who buy here tend to stay. The location is hard to beat for four season living. Gunstock Mountain Resort is minutes away for skiing, hiking, and the adventure park. Gilford village, Laconia, Weirs Beach, and the restaurants and shops of the Lakes Region are all close, and the Winnipesaukee shoreline is a short drive in the other direction. Snowmobile and hiking trails are practically out the door. Well built, loved, and genuinely move in ready. Cute as a button on the outside, solid where it counts underneath, and waiting on the right owner to write the next chapter.
