Built to Last — A Rare Lakeport Craftsman with Lake Opechee Access

Some homes are built. This one was crafted. Set on a beautifully landscaped .76-acre double lot, this custom-built ranch delivers 2,600 square feet of meticulous, one-of-a-kind quality in the heart of Laconia's Lakeport Village — a neighborhood in the middle of a genuine renaissance. Step inside and the craftsmanship announces itself: soaring vaulted ceilings, true plaster walls, custom archways, and sliding barn doors set a tone you simply don't find in new construction. The formal living room centers on a gas marble fireplace; the family room showcases a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone gas insert. The chef's kitchen is appointed with Newport Shaker-style cabinetry, Corian counters, updated appliances including refrigerator and gas range, and warm radiant-heat tile floors underfoot. The primary suite is a private retreat — cedar walk-in closet, marble-top double vanity, and a Jacuzzi tub. Throughout, thoughtful, energy-smart engineering: geothermal heating and cooling powered by a private artesian well, delivering year-round comfort at a fraction of typical energy cost. Outside, the living continues. Relax under the Double Pavilion patio, enjoy the fenced backyard, concrete paver driveway, durable metal roof, oversized 2-car garage, and 10'×20' shed — with dedicated space for a boat or RV. And here's what truly sets this home apart: the location. Walk to the Town Beach and enjoy access to Lake Opechee, one of the Lakes Region's most beloved waterways, prized for boating, paddling, and quiet coves, and a short walk to Paugus Bay and Lake Winnipesaukee beyond. Just steps from your door, Lakeport Village is coming alive: the beautifully restored Lakeport Opera House — shuttered for over 60 years and now a thriving cultural venue — sits less than a mile away, alongside marinas, restaurants, a coffee shop, and an ice cream shop.
