Sun-filled 3-bedroom, 3-full bath residence in Guilford's sought-after West Lake community, designed for exceptional indoor-outdoor living. Surrounded by five distinct decks and featuring two outdoor / 2 indoor fireplaces, the home offers multiple outdoor settings for dining, entertaining, and quiet retreat. Generous windows and skylights fill the interior with natural light, highlighting a well-appointed gourmet kitchen and comfortable living spaces that connect seamlessly to the outdoors. Residents enjoy private access to spring-fed West Lake, ideal for paddleboarding, kayaking, swimming, and sailing. The home has been thoughtfully maintained with over $90,000 in capital improvements, including renovated bathrooms, high-efficiency HVAC with a new condenser, upgraded insulation, and a newer roof (approximately 5 years old), along with additional system and infrastructure updates. Privately set on a quiet residential road, yet minutes to Guilford Green, shoreline beaches, and dining, 42 Harrison Road is equally suited as a full-time residence or weekend retreat, approximately 2 hours from New York City and 2.5 hours from Boston. Recent improvements were completed to enhance ease of mobility and support comfortable single-level living. Exterior steps were removed and replaced with a professionally designed, landscaped entry ramp connecting the driveway to the front entrance. The main level offers an open layout that allows for easy movement between rooms without narrow interior hallways. Both main-level bathrooms were renovated with accessibility in mind and feature approximately 3-foot-wide doorways, generous turning space, low-threshold shower entries with integrated grab bars, and reinforced wall blocking to allow for additional grab bar installation if desired. These thoughtful features provide added flexibility for guests, multi-generational living, or buyers seeking enhanced accessibility and long-term convenience. Owner-occupied home with improvements thoughtfully designed and executed by the current owner, an architect, for personal use-not a renovation-for-resale. Accessibility and universal design features were incorporated to enhance comfort, flow, and long-term livability
