Cottages are symbolic of a simpler time and a simpler life, creating thoughts of romance, comfort, and nostalgia. The Ledge- Built by Thomas & Kate Hunter Dunn of Newport, Rhode Island as a Summer Cottage with the most exciting panorama view of Squam Lake and Mountains beyond. Perched on the promontory and built to blend the classic Shingle & Swiss Chalet styles. Lovingly maintained by the current owners, this home is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Cathedral ceiling living room once played host to the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Large sleeping porches, wide Dutch doors with iron strap hinges and a massive, stepped fieldstone chimney all offer architectural integrity to this historical treasure. The Cove was designed and built in the footprint of a vintage boathouse. Thoughtfully constructed 20’ into Squam Lake, this home may be the most unique structure on “Golden Pond”. The Cove boasts a double “Hull” poured foundation, an amazing fieldstone fireplace, lake views from every space, a whole house generator and an impressive 600’ of lake frontage with its own sandy beach. These exquisite homes are only available together and will provide their future owner with the best of Old & New Squam for generations to come. Unmatched provenance & pedigree and an absolute must see.
