Set along the shores of Merrymeeting Lake, 48 South Shore Road is a charming year-round waterfront home with 99 feet of private frontage in a peaceful, wooded setting. Known for its crystal-clear, spring-fed waters, Merrymeeting Lake encompasses 1,233 acres surrounded by the natural beauty of New Hampshire's mountains and forests. The three-bedroom, one-bath residence provides a comfortable and relaxed setting for lakeside living. A versatile loft provides additional space for guests, a home office, or a quiet retreat, while the three-season porch is a welcoming place to enjoy the surrounding landscape. Outside, the waterfront lot provides direct access to the lake for swimming, boating, kayaking, fishing, and time spent along the shoreline. An additional 0.34-acre parcel located directly across the street includes a separate garage, providing valuable space for parking, storage, boats, and recreational equipment. Conveniently located less than one hour from Portsmouth and less than two hours from Boston, the property is well suited for both year-round living and seasonal enjoyment. With private waterfront, a natural setting, and the added flexibility of a separate parcel, 48 South Shore Road presents an appealing opportunity to enjoy life on one of New Hampshire's beautiful lakes.
