About This Property

Set along the banks of Powder Mill Pond, this exceptional waterfront property offers a front-row seat to one of the region's most scenic natural settings, ideal for bird-watching, fishing, paddling, and kayaking. At the heart of the home, an open-concept kitchen is appointed with stainless steel appliances, generous cabinetry, Cambria quartz countertops, and a center island with seating. The living room is distinguished by soaring ceilings, warm wood accents, and a freestanding wood stove that serves as a focal point throughout the seasons. Expansive windows fill the space with natural light while capturing picturesque views of the pond and surrounding landscape. Tasteful renovations include updated flooring, electrical and insulation improvements, and a complete transformation of the lower level and main living areas. Three bedrooms and two fully renovated bathrooms provide comfortable accommodations, with bright, inviting spaces that reflect the home's peaceful setting. The lower-level mudroom features custom built-in storage. Outdoor living is equally impressive. An expansive deck with dining space and a shade sail overlooks the in-ground pool and beautifully landscaped grounds, creating an exceptional setting for summer entertaining. A covered cabana-style seating area offers a place to relax after a swim, while detached outbuildings provide flexible space for recreational equipment, hobbies, or workshop use. Overlooking the inlets and watersheds of the Contoocook River, this distinctive home is thoughtfully positioned to embrace its natural surroundings, offering an exceptional setting for both full-time living and weekend escapes.
