Tuftonboro Waterfront Residence

A Composition in Glass, Water, and Light There are properties that merely occupy a shoreline, and then there are those that become it. This is the latter. One hundred and five feet of Lake Winnipesaukee’s edge belong to this home — not as boundary, but as identity. The architect understood this, and so the entire water-facing wall of the first floor surrenders to glass, dissolving the line between interior and lake until you are no longer sure where the living room ends and the water begins. The view it frames is nothing short of painterly. Your eye travels across open water to Rattlesnake Island, then lifts naturally toward the Belknap Mountains, coming to rest finally on the slopes of Gunstock — a composition that shifts with every season, every hour, every mood of the sky. The home is arranged as a study in elevation. From the patio at the water’s very edge, one ascends through multiple tiers of outdoor living — a lower walkout, a full-width deck cantilevered off the main quarters, and crowning it all, a private deck off the primary bedroom where the sunrise belongs entirely to you. A breakwater and private dock complete the waterside installation. Inside, the canvas has been made entirely new. Fresh plumbing, fresh electrical, a restored deck and railings, and paint applied throughout — the whole structure reimagined without sacrificing its bones. Four bedrooms, thoughtfully proportioned. Light from morning to evening, and sunsets that, frankly, demand an audience. A permit for a two-car garage is already in motion. The tax rate is low. The town of Tuftonboro is quiet. Some works of art are meant to be admired from a distance. This one, you can live inside.
