Lake life, all year - and dog-friendly!
No matter what the season, this home on pristine Forest Lake is a must-see for those seeking a comfortable, peaceful home base for their White Mountains vacation. The lake vibe permeates this home every season - with an incredible view of the water lapping the small bay in the summer, the peaceful sight of the frozen lake in the winter, not to mention beautiful sunsets and the fiery spectacle of Fall Foliage. For your comfort, the home is also air conditioned!
Delight in the incredible waterfront lawn, complete with a screened-in and weather-protected sitting area - an amazing place to enjoy a morning cup of coffee or read a book right by the water, rain or shine, or enjoy the fire pit or a swim in the calm lake waters. Hot dogs by the water? Check, thanks to the outdoor propane grill. Warm up in the hot tub after a refreshing dip? Check, with the newly added outdoor hot tub. A seasonal dock is provided (a great photo-op for kids and adults alike!), and you can use it to jump in the water or take the kayak, canoe, Stand Up Paddle, or rowboat provided out for a tour of the beautiful mountain lake - maybe you can spot a bald eagle, a loon, or even a moose? And if you enjoy fishing, you'll be delighted to know that the lake is host to many species including trout, bass, and bluegill. Fishing is common year round, and ice fishing is quite popular in the winter as well!
Inside, you will be greeted by an open-concept living space with a fully equipped kitchen, dining, and living area, accented by a propane stove to cozy up to the weather gets chilly. On the same level, you will find a primary bedroom, a private bathroom with a tiled shower, and a Toto Washlet toilet/bidet combo. Start your day right by waking up to a beautiful view of the lake! Head upstairs to find 3 more bedrooms, a bathroom with double sinks and a tiled shower/tub combo, and a laundry room with a modern washer and dryer, iron, and folding table.
