I really like the home at 40 Whipple Ave in Laconia because it is a nice neighborhood of great older homes, but it also has a one bedroom rental cottage that brings in $550 per month making this a really great deal! This charming, circa 1943, five bedroom, two bath cape style home has nice curb appeal, hardwood floors, living room with brick fireplace, a sun room, and a formal dining room that leads out to a large private deck and fenced yard. This home has an updated heating system, roof, energy efficient hot water tank, and replacement windows. This home is reasonably priced at $256,000 which is just under the assessed value of $259,800.





The home at 16 Robin Way in Meredith could be a great deal just because it is a really appealing, immaculate home with tons of features and is in a great Meredith location! This contemporary cape style home was built in 2003 and has 3,267 square feet of living space, three bedrooms, and two and a half baths. It has a great room with cathedral ceilings, hardwood floors, brick hearth and wood stove, an eat-in kitchen with stainless appliances, a master suite, and sunroom. The walk out lower level has a family room with bar and an office. You may never leave there except to go out back where you’ll find an above ground pool with a deck. There’s a detached three car garage with a heated workshop. Out front is a fantastic farmer’s porch that adds to the curb appeal. This house sits on a 3.6 acre lot with beach rights to Waukewan.
