Located on tranquil Melvin Bay between Wolfeboro and Melvin Village, it has 150 feet of wide, level sandy beachfront just outside the house. The western exposure produces incredible sunset views over the lake and beach. This quintessential lakefront home was built in 1947 using lumber and stones from nearby and has never been listed until now. There are 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, a large bunkroom on the second floor. A few feet away from the house is a detached study/guestroom for extra privacy. For easy cleanup after swimming and beach fun, there is a handy outdoor shower next to the side entrance.

Copps Brook is also perfect for canoes and kayaks, the brook provides excellent viewing of wildlife. Not included in the sale is Parcel 1 on Carroll County Deed Book 3042, page 552.
