Furnished Lakeside Lodge with 100 feet of sandy beach, dock, hot tub, new kitchen, first floor primary-suite and a lifetime of memories. Scoop up this magical slice of lakefront property before spring market kicks in. This endearing log cabin is in the corner of a cove on Balch Lake in NH, a 704 Acre lake with no boating restrictions. Many upgrades include a metal roof, stand-by generator, laundry on 2 levels, 2 Vermont casting gas fireplaces, and newer kitchen. You'll love the stone backsplash, granite counters and stainless appliances as the kitchen opens to a stunning dining room and living room with impressive stone hearth. There are 2 bedrooms on ground level with 2 full bathrooms. Upstairs the lofted room is great for guests or home office. The lower level is party central with open space, half bath, access to the ground level through 2 bright sliders and beds for your guests to visit. Don't forget the multiple levels of outdoor entertaining in the warmer months! The hot tub is open year round, but there are 2 decks, a patio, outdoor shower and sandy beach to make this a place you'll never want to leave. Everyone will love that a grill can be hooked up to the permanent gas line so you'll never need another propane tank from the hardware store! Great history on AirBNB and VRBO if you want to offset some ownership costs. Only about 30 minutes to King Pine Ski Resort. This neighborhood is really special as the homes are not right on top of each other and there is a great mix of existing and new homes throughout. This is a special opportunity to grab decades of sunsets, lake life, memories and happiness. Snag this gem before the market gets too busy. Book your appointment today.
