A very special house, on the edge of Gilford Village within walking distance to one of the finest little Villages anywhere. Walk to exceptional schools, ball fields, tennis courts, a rubberized track, hiking trails, an amazing library,(recently built), a community church and a community center, a historical grange hall, and an antique meeting house, a newly redone, adorable Village Store/restaurant, sidewalks and even a covered bridge. Living in the village is a way of life that is exceptional; wonderful for children and adults; experience Old Home Day with a fabulous parade and even more fabulous fireworks display, & in winter the Candlelight stroll. Gilford has the finest beach (arguably) on Lake Winnipesaukee, and that is for town residents only. The house is minutes to Gunstock ski area open day and night in winter with activities year round. A very deceiving house that looks like a modest cape but walk in and find a roomy open modern, fantastic space great for a large gathering or cozy night by the fire. Huge master suite on the second floor w/balcony overlooking the private back yard and the view of Gunstock & Belknap Mountains. Second floor laundry, excercise room, huge walk in closets, and a walk in attic. Original home was 1700sf and was gutted in 2005/6 to become almost 4800sf w/ unsurpassed high end construction quality & craftmanship. Close to shopping, restaurants, attractions and an easy commuting location. One of the owners is a licensed Real Estate agent.
