A rare opportunity to acquire one of Lake Sunapee’s most historic properties. Meticulously cared for by the Dewey family since 1895, it is a sanctuary of peace and offers 380 feet of lake frontage. Its signature wrap around porch provides commanding and sweeping views on three sides and across the lake to Loon Island Light House and Mount Kearsarge. A short nature trail to a small beach with its shallow, sandy bottom, provides a haven for young children. This gorgeous estate provides a sense of seclusion yet within walking distance of Dewey Beach and Sunapee Harbor. This rare gem boasts Lake Sunapee’s oldest boathouse with two 30’ slips. Built in 1901 by George Dewey to house his electric launch, the Wizard, an heirloom which can be acquired separately.The main house features high ceilings and an abundance of windows offering water views from every room. Spacious living and dining rooms both feature historic fireplaces. The lakefront den and adjacent gym, provide a private retreat. The spacious kitchen exudes timeless appeal. Upstairs, discover four bedrooms with adjacent or ensuite baths, while a coveted sleeping porch offers a dreamy refuge. The inviting 2 bedrm guesthouse has a roomy living area, kitchen and a private deck overlooking the lake. This heritage property offers possibilities for expansion and development. The seasonal main cottage, with its enduring charm, could be winterized, or plan to build the home of your dreams, just steps from the water's edge!
