LIFESTYLE CHANGE FOR SALE! Imagine waking up to sunrise & sparkling water views, enjoying morning coffee on a screened porch overlooking the lake & ending the day w/ a gentle summer breeze. This rare opportunity to own a beautifully restored waterfront Cape Cod cottage on desirable Lake Attitash offers not just a home, but an entirely different way of living. Warm, inviting & filled w/ character, this charming home blends original charm w/ thoughtful updates. Original wood floors, warm pine walls & a fieldstone fireplace w/ gas insert create a quintessential New England atmosphere, while enlarged windows, glass sliders & skylights bring the outdoors in & showcase breathtaking lake views from nearly every room.

Lake Attitash is known for excellent fishing & has been featured on television by Charlie Moore, the Mad Fisherman. There is even a designated area to practice your golf swing & putting stroke! Or transform that space into a hot tub retreat & soak beneath the stars. A detached 2-car garage-rare w/ a waterfront property-was added in 2019 & provides space for cars, boats & lake toys. The full basement offers abundant storage & a workshop. Lake Attitash is known for clean water & abundant wildlife. Watch for swans, loons, ducks, blue herons, owls, eagles, cormorants & more.
