Welcome to this lovely 5.63 acre property with extensive gardens and a two bay carriage house in low-tax Moultonborough. Ideally located, the property offers water access to Lake Winnipeasukee at the end of the street and is just 2 miles to Center Harbor and 5 miles to Meredith. The house has a charming farmhouse-chic feel and offers three finished levels of living space. The main level features pine floors throughout and a spacious living room with a cozy wood stove that flows directly to a screened porch and back patio overlooking the gardens. Also on this level is a light-filled dining room, a lovely kitchen with granite counters and new stainless-steel appliances, an updated half bath/laundry room and a recently added mudroom entry off of the kitchen. The lower level offers an expansive family room with high ceilings, a 3/4 bath with a barn door, and a den/office which is currently being used as overflow sleeping space. A convenient mudroom/entry provides direct stair access to the outdoors. Upstairs, the oversized primary bedroom features two large closets, including a walk-in, along with two additional generously sized bedrooms and an updated shared bath. Built in 2017, the carriage house offers fantastic storage and the potential for an additional 575 square feet of living space above the two garage bays. Electricity is in place, and the space has already been roughed in for a living/kitchen area, bedroom and bath. The acreage is a wonderful mix of lawn, perennial gardens, raised vegetable beds and woodlands. This is a truly special property, offering easy access to all that the Lakes Region has to offer!
