Welcome to The Meadows at South Down Shores, a sought-after gated community on the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee. The bright, open floor plan is anchored by a beautifully redesigned kitchen featuring a waterfall-edge center island, recessed lighting, stylish cabinetry, updated countertops, and quality finishes that flow seamlessly into the living and dining areas. A first-floor bedroom, full bath, and laundry provide the ease and flexibility of single-level living. Upstairs, you'll find two additional bedrooms with skylights and a full bath, offering comfortable accommodations for family and guests. A one-car garage provides added storage and everyday practicality. Thoughtful improvements continue throughout the home, including tastefully renovated bathrooms, newer windows, an updated slider leading to the newly enlarged patio, a roof approximately five years old, and energy-efficient mini-split systems for year-round comfort. Every detail has been carefully considered to create a warm, inviting home that's truly move-in ready. Life at South Down Shores is about embracing the Lakes Region lifestyle. Residents enjoy access to a private sandy beach on Lake Winnipesaukee, scenic walking trails, tennis, pickleball and basketball courts, all set within beautifully maintained grounds. Ideally located just minutes from shopping, dining, and local attractions, this home offers the perfect blend of low-maintenance living, modern updates, and year-round recreation.
