The boathouse holds a 20 foot boat easily, and there is an area used as a dressing room or storage area as part of the boathouse. An exterior shower at the boat house allows easy clean up.
There is a separate barn with large 1/2 bath with dressing area and an extra water closet. The upstairs working/reading area has a large skylight and wood stove. Prior owners used part of the downstairs of the barn as a single car garage.
The 2 abutting vacant wooded lots, per tax bills are 1.48 and 2.19 acres.
This is a wooded, quiet location with a wonderful sense of being outdoors in a long ago age. It is unusual to find such a unique property today.
Lovejoy Lane has a charming collection of old lakehouses. At the other end of Lovejoy Lane is Lovejoy Sands Road, which has a boat launch into Lake Winnipesaukee. Shep Brown's Boat Basin is located there, which is convenient for this property, not close enough to impact enjoyment, but helpful when there is need for boating supplies.
Please Note: The MapQuest map is incorrect. The road labeled Lovejoy Sands is actually Lovejoy Lane. The house is located on the shore, just beneath the word "Sands". |
