Surrounded by towering pines, lush greenery, and views of private Elder Lake, this beautifully remodeled retreat captures mountain living. There is an undeniable sense of escape; from the cascading vines and secluded outdoor spaces to the dramatic picture windows that frame the surrounding beauty and fill the home with natural light. Refined yet wonderfully comfortable, this is a place designed for slow mornings among the pines, evenings gathered outdoors, and quiet moments enjoying the fresh mountain air. Set on a lush .36-acres, the 1,856 sqft home is offered furnished with just a few exclusions and features 3 bedrooms, one currently enjoyed as a family room, 2.5 baths, a desirable split floor plan, a 1-car garage, and an additional carport. With its thoughtful remodel, intimate lake setting, and exceptional connection to the outdoors, this is more than a mountain home; it is a private White Mountains retreat meant to be experienced and enjoyed. Inside, soaring vaulted ceilings and expansive picture windows flood the home with natural light, beautifully framing the surrounding trees and greenery and creating a seamless connection to the outdoors. Anderson windows throughout add to the home's quality and comfort, while the remodeled kitchen is both warm and refined with rich hickory cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless-steel appliances, and generous workspace for everything from quiet mornings to gatherings with family and friends. The living area captures everything you want in a mountain home; inviting, comfortable, and full of character. A wood-burning stove and pellet stove, accented by beautiful custom natural stonework, create a cozy atmosphere on crisp mountain evenings, while natural gas forced-air heating provides an additional option for year-round comfort. The spacious primary suite offers a peaceful retreat, and the additional rooms provide wonderful flexibility for guests, a home office, den, or family. But the outdoor living is what truly sets this property apart. Step onto the private back deck and it feels as though you've entered another world. Mature trees, lush vines, and layers of greenery surround the space, creating an incredible sense of privacy and tranquility. A charming ramada right on the deck creates an intimate setting for morning coffee, leisurely dinners, entertaining friends, or simply settling in and listening to the breeze move through the trees. Follow the walkway through the greenery and you'll discover a second ramada positioned to take in views of Edler Lake, the private community lake stocked with trout and bass. It's the kind of tucked-away spot made for lingering with a book, enjoying a glass of wine at the end of the day, or simply sitting quietly and taking in the beauty of the water and surrounding landscape. The grounds themselves are just as special, with pear and apple trees, grapevines, berry bushes, and a large fenced area for your pups. Even the covered parking adds to the property's distinctive character; the carport is tucked beneath an extraordinary canopy of established vines, blending beautifully into the lush surroundings. And while the property feels wonderfully secluded, some of the area's best outdoor recreation is practically outside your door. Cross the road into the national forest and make your way toward Woodland Lake Park, where hiking trails, pickleball, disc golf, playgrounds, and endless opportunities to enjoy the outdoors await. More than a mountain home, this is a place to retreat, reconnect, and experience the White Mountains at their best.
