---- — Welcome to a waterfront paradise at Cobbetts Pond in Windham, N.H.
Outside of this contemporary style home are over two acres of professionally landscaped private land. It boasts an attached two-car garage with a bonus two-car garage across the street for additional vehicles. The circular driveway and brick paver walkways make for an “estate like” atmosphere. The home also features a traditional Tudor style stucco exterior with exceptional views of the pond, 450 feet of water frontage, a private dock, and its own private beach area on the pond.
Cobbetts Pond is a 345-acre water body approximately two miles long, and the shoreline forms the shape of an eight. Cobbett’s Pond is home to many different types of lakeside homes, ranging from seasonal cottages to year-round multi-million-dollar houses. These homes are all part of the Cobbett’s Pond Village District. Located on the west edge of the lake is the Windham Town Beach. The beach is open to the public and has an enclosed swimming area. During the summer months, water sport shows, boat parades, and fireworks take place. Ice fishing and skating are common activities during the winter.
Cobbetts Pond is primarily a spring-fed lake. Water from the pond flows via Golden Brook and Beaver Brook to the Merrimack River in Lowell, Massachusetts.
The stately, yet contemporary home has 3,620 square feet of living space which includes 11 rooms, 7 bedrooms, and three and a half bathrooms. A grand 28-by-8 foyer gives an unforgettable first impression leading into the home. The large kitchen has skylights that allow natural sunlight to shine through the house. It offers gleaming hardwood floors, a bay window, vaulted ceilings, a large dining area, upgraded countertops, warm maple cabinets, and retro stainless steel appliances. Along with most rooms, it also has recessed lighting. Huge glass sliding doors in the kitchen open to a huge entertaining deck with dramatic water views. The deck leads down to your very own private dock where the options are endless for fun on the water.
Built in 1960, the property has very distinct features reminiscent of an English Tudor style home. There is shape and dimension in every room which allows the entire home to slightly wrap around the property. The interior woodwork is well thought out, giving a symmetrical flow from room to room. Custom built-in shelving with glass doors adds a touch of elegance to the 30x15 dining room which also offers a huge picture window with a scenic view. Between the built-in cabinetry with glass doors, is the entryway to the 38x16 living room. In there, a gas fireplace is cornered to allow for an inviting seating area, while an entire wall of windows brightens the room. Recessed lighting and custom wood work add to the elegant, yet inviting feeling.
Not to be ignored, this home also offers many other amenities such as central vacuum, a security system, an enclosed porch. Step out onto the deck each morning and sip your morning coffee while watching the sun rise over the pond; invite friends and family to a gathering on your private beach and take the boat out for a ride; or enjoy the comfort inside while sitting by the fireplace on a cold New England evening. With space, style, and amenities galore, it is truly a remarkable property with endless possibilities.
