Experience the charm of lake area living at 26 Algonquin Ave, a beautifully updated home tucked into a wooded setting just steps from Franklin Pierce Lake. Offered with two lots totaling approximately 3 acres, this unique property provides a wonderful combination of privacy, character, and proximity to the water. The only land separating the property from the lake is a parcel owned by Eversource, creating an exceptionally close to the water setting without the waterfront price tag. Inside, soaring wood clad ceilings, exposed beams, and dramatic windows fill the main living area with natural light and give the home a true New Hampshire retreat feel. At the heart of the home is an impressive cobblestone fireplace constructed with stones brought from historic Boston, MA creating a one of a kind focal point. The open kitchen features generous counter space and breakfast-bar seating, making the layout ideal for entertaining. Recent remodeling added a second bathroom, complementing the primary bedroom and oversized loft that offers flexible space for sleeping accommodations, guests, or a home office. The walkout lower level has also been fully finished, adding more than 600 square feet of additional living space and providing even more room to spread out. Step outside onto the expansive wraparound deck and enjoy the peaceful wooded surroundings and nearby lake setting. A pellet stove and mini-split systems provide multiple heating options along with air conditioning for year round comfort. Whether you're searching for a full-time residence, weekend escape, or quintessential New Hampshire lake area retreat, this distinctive property offers space, character, and an incredible location near Franklin Pierce Lake.
