    What's special

    Expansive flat shoreline parcelsPrivate sandy beachFormal dining roomUpdated sidingBroad level lawnTrex deckingNatural light
    Nestled along the quiet waters of Elly Cove on pristine Merrymeeting Lake, this exceptional 3,056 sq ft year-round waterfront home sits on one of the lake’s few expansive, flat shoreline parcels. Offering approximately 104 feet of waterfront, a private sandy beach, and a broad level lawn, this rare property delivers true lake living ideal for lakeside multi-generational gatherings and entertaining. Designed to embrace its setting, the home captures sweeping lake views from nearly every room, filling the interior with natural light. The main level centers around an open-concept kitchen and family room with fireplace, a formal dining room and spacious living room with wood stove—each with direct access to the full-length Trex deck overlooking the water. Two bedrooms, two 3/4 baths, a dedicated office/den, and a flexible bonus room for additional accommodations for family and guests. Upstairs, the private primary suite offers panoramic lake views, two walk-in closets, and a spacious bath featuring double sinks, walk-in shower, and a jacuzzi tub. Outdoor living is equally impressive. Wide stairs lead from the deck to a patio and one of the largest flat lawns on Merrymeeting Lake—a highly desirable feature. The sandy beach allows easy walk-in access, while the newer dock with electric raise-a-dock system accommodates three or more watercraft. Three separate driveways provide parking for 15+ vehicles, supporting estate-level hosting and extended family stays. Home features updated siding, heating systems, and Trex decking. This nearly maintenance-free property is offered fully furnished, including outdoor furniture, kayaks, lake sea cycle, and snowblower. A rare opportunity to own a private lakefront home in one of New Hampshire's most sought-after waterfront settings.
