Character abounds in this beautiful 5 bedroom home that is in a fantastic location and lovely neighborhood. Walk to downtown Laconia for wonderful restaurants, the Colonial Theatre, shopping, walking paths, etc. This home features spacious and light-filled rooms with large windows (including some original stained glass), high ceilings, beautiful hard wood floors and much of the original woodwork from the early 1900's. The main floor includes a generously-sized kitchen with center island, large living room with fireplace, dining room, den and office with fireplace. The second floor includes 5 bedrooms, a full bath and a den off the primary bedroom that would be the perfect location for a future primary suite bathroom. The lower level was renovated in 2021 and is a great spot for a family room. There is an unfinished, walk-up attic that is great for storage space or could be converted to living space in the future. There is also a beautiful front porch off the living room, which is a lovely spot in the warmer months. This home has many updates and improvements, including vinyl siding on the house, all windows have been replaced, new boiler and Marathon water heater installed 8 years ago and newer garage doors. Lake Winnisquam, Lake Winnipesaukee and Lake Opechee are a short drive away and Gunstock is a 10 minute drive for year-round fun. Delayed showings begin Sunday, March 5 at open house 11-1.
