List of the day
Location: Wolfeboro, New Hampshire
The price: 8.9 million US dollars
This beachfront holiday complex is located in the most important resort town Wolfeboro, New Hampshire has a lake house and guest house with views of Lake Winnipesaukee and the Belknap Mountains.
“The craftsmanship of the house and the amenities of the lot make it stand out,” said listing agent Adam Dow. “The stonework alone is worth between $1.7 million and $1.9 million, and the house is positioned so you can see the afternoon sun and sunsets.”
Properties like this one, on the two-mile stretch of Sewall Road, “which is one of the oldest in the city and a road to live on,” Mr. Dow said, don’t come on the market often. “These are generational properties – people don’t sell, they buy properties next door and stay.”
The sellers bought a bigger house in a nearby town, he added.
Dramatically arched arches create a sense of classical grandeur.
