    Classic New England character and thoughtful updates come together in this spacious 5-bedroom, 2.5-bath home in the heart of Laconia. Originally built in 1920, the home showcases timeless architectural details including original pocket doors, hardwood floors, and natural wood trim throughout, while recent improvements provide modern comfort and peace of mind.

The third floor opens up endless possibilities with additional living space, bonus room, or guest accommodations complete with a 3/4 bath. Outside, step from the back deck into the fenced backyard offering room for pets, play, or gardening. A one-car garage provides additional storage, and the shared driveway adds convenient access. Ideally located just steps from Lake Winnisquam and only minutes from downtown Laconia, you’ll enjoy easy access to local restaurants, shopping, marinas, theaters, and year-round recreation in the heart of the Lakes Region.
