The Lakeside Hideaway

Perched on a scenic outcrop overlooking Webster Lake in Franklin, NH, this extraordinary custom-built home offers breathtaking views, luxurious design, and seamless indoor-

outdoor living. Thoughtfully crafted to replace an existing structure, every detail of this residence is designed for beauty, comfort, and connection to the natural surroundings.

The 1,750-square-foot finished basement serves as an expansive retreat, complete with a large game and family room, an additional bedroom, and a full bathroom—all bathed in natural light through doors and windows facing the lake.

At the main entrance, a grand covered porch with a stone veneer welcomes guests into the heart of the home. Inside, the first floor boasts a spacious open-concept design, featuring an elegant dining area, a gourmet kitchen, and a living room anchored by a soaring stone fireplace that extends to the cathedral ceiling. A striking catwalk and staircase lead to the second level, adding architectural drama and visual appeal.

The lakeside master suite offers a tranquil retreat, complete with his-and-her closets and a spa-like bathroom featuring a custom tile walk-in shower and dual vanity. On the opposite end of the first floor, a mudroom with a custom bench and powder room provides practical elegance. Additionally, a private second suite features a lake-facing deck, walk-in closet, and en-suite bathroom.

A sprawling covered porch, adorned with a wood ceiling and collar ties, extends from the living room to the water’s edge, seamlessly connecting the indoor spaces to the picturesque surroundings. From here, stairs lead down to the expansive yard, offering uninterrupted lake views.

Outside, the property is equally impressive, featuring a large paved driveway with ample parking, a private boat ramp, and beautifully landscaped grounds. Custom-built stone and block walls, meandering walkways, an irrigation system, and thoughtfully designed gardens enhance the home’s natural elegance.
