Wait until you take a tour of this home.  Listed by Susan Bradley, Coldwell Banker Realty, it's a refined, elegant home offering palatially-designed rooms and a manicured lawn.  It has quite an old-world charm feeling, with intricate architecture filled with vaulted ceilings, archways, custom woodwork, pillars, chandeliers, and an open flow concept with floor-to-ceiling windows complete with custom treatments.

Being in New Hampshire, the driveway and walkways are heated for this year-round living.  And of course, being on Lake Winnipesaukee, winter is a stunning time to be there as well, with views of Mount Washington and peace you don't have in the summer months.

The elevator makes sure you can reach each level comfortably in this nearly 8500 square foot mansion.
