From the moment this family of five crossed the bridge onto Governor’s Island on Lake Winnipesaukee, they knew they had found the ideal setting for their year-round retreat. With patience and perseverance, they secured a remarkable waterfront parcel with expansive views, an extended shoreline, and ideal solar orientation, creating the perfect setting for the legacy home they envisioned.

The six-bedroom residence was designed for effortless entertaining and connection. A passionate design enthusiast, the client curated every interior finish with an emphasis on elevated comfort and timeless appeal. The open-plan kitchen, dining, and living spaces are oriented toward panoramic lake views, creating a welcoming setting for gatherings both large and intimate.

Above the three-car garage, a private guest suite is accessed by a separate staircase and offers a tranquil haven for visitors. The suite includes a sitting area, children’s bunkroom, private adult bedroom, and well-appointed baths and dressing spaces. Designed to accommodate both weekend guests and extended stays, it provides a comfortable and private extension of the home.
