The Shore House

Perched at the edge of Paugus Bay on Lake Winnipesaukee, this custom home was built in place of an existing cottage and thoughtfully designed to maximize the lot, the expansive yard, and the sweeping lakeside views. A two‑car garage leads into a well‑appointed mudroom with a large laundry room, opening into a spacious kitchen and a dining area positioned directly along the water’s edge.

The open‑concept living room showcases a grand stone fireplace and stunning cathedral ceilings finished with wood tongue‑and‑groove and decorative collar ties. Floor‑to‑ceiling windows and doors frame the lake and extend to a full‑width deck, while a connected screened porch provides additional outdoor living space. The main entry includes a small covered porch, a full bathroom, and a private study with beautiful lake views. 

On the second floor, an open catwalk overlooks the living room and its dramatic window wall. The lakeside master suite features a spacious bedroom, walk‑in closet, and a large private bathroom. Two additional bedrooms share a well‑designed “his and her” bathroom on the opposite side of the upper level. A separate family room sits above the garage, offering even more flexible living space.

Designed to embrace its waterfront setting, this home blends craftsmanship, comfort, and panoramic views in one of Winnipesaukee’s most iconic bays.
