Charming new homes in New Hampshire's Lakes Region

LACONIA — Imagine living in a charming new home in the heart of the Weirs Beach area, just a short walk to the Mount Washington boat dock on Lake Winnipesaukee and its celebrated beach.

Then imagine being only 10 minutes from the famed Gunstock Ski area and all of the pleasures of downtown Laconia in the heart of New Hampshire's incomparable Lakes Region. With the affordable new Weirs Beach Village offering two-bedroom homes starting at just $144,900, this lifestyle can become a reality.

Weirs Beach Village is a wonderful and unique new community of detached destination homes that offer carefree year-round living. With several fabulous models to choose from, there is a style that is sure to please everyone. What makes these new homes so special is that they are a great value, attractive, well planned, and in one New England's most desirable locations. It is rare to find affordable new construction so perfectly situated near the beach, mountains and year-round attractions of the Greater Laconia community.

Designed for a carefree lifestyle for all seasons, these new two-bedroom homes are stylish, efficient and well constructed. With 9-foot ceilings, loads of windows for natural light, large rooms and a four-season room, each home feels spacious and airy, but still comfortable. Most of the layouts offer single floor living, but one does offer a neat loft area.

The neighborhood is enchanting, as each home is pleasantly scaled to its surroundings, and the professional landscaping is respectful of New Hampshire's stunning natural beauty. Each home has maintenance-free siding, 30-year architectural roof shingles and high-end windows.

The interior of the individual homes is fresh and exciting, with a sunny state-of-the art kitchen. As this is new construction, homeowners have the opportunity to choose their appliances, cabinetry and decor details. Amazingly, these homes have city water and sewer and offer an optional garage.

Pets are allowed, and the homeowners association cares for the mowing of the common landscaping. For those who like to garden, each home has space for flowerbeds to give the yard an individual personality.

The new homes at Weirs Beach Village are all about lifestyle. The community will include an on-site pool and clubhouse for residents and guests when completed, and boating, swimming, fishing and snowmobiling are just minutes away.

Anyone who has ever vacationed in the Laconia area knows that the Lake Winnipesauke area has been a year-round mecca for sports enthusiasts for more than a century. A prized four-season destination, this highly desirable region also offers some of the most popular winter sports options in New England, with extensive snowmobiling trails, ice fishing, and great downhill and cross country skiing at nearby Gunstock.

For those who want to relax, the area offers a wide range of outstanding restaurants, spas and entertainment, most within easy walking distance that includes sidewalks. Even the popular outlet shopping centers of Tilton are just a short drive from this new community.

The unique, new Weirs Beach Village community offers the charm of living in a classic, New England style home in an area well known for its scenic beauty, year-round outdoor fun and cultural attractions at a price that is truly affordable. Designed for owners of all ages, these delightful new homes would work well for empty nesters who may plan to downsize to a condominium in Florida, but also want an affordable home in New England close to family where they can enjoy the timeless joy of the Weirs Beach region without the hassle of maintenance.

For the younger, first-time buyer who desires a carefree home with easy access to the natural recreational pleasures of the Lakes Region, this is a wonderful opportunity to become a homeowner. The record low interest rates make this the time to buy.

The new community is being marketed by The New Homes Division of Prudential Verani Realty beginning at $144,900.
