Property Description
Shed the trappings of everyday life w/ its pressures, the stress of work or school and head to your own private retreat? This Yr 'Rd chalet on the shore of Balch Lake offers you the opportunity to unwind! With over 700 acres of lake & 15 miles of shoreline to explore - whether in your canoe or row boat, pontoon boat or ski boat, there is so much to offer. If you love to fish, the challenge is here with bass - both large & small mouth, pickerel and perch! Located in a quiet cul-de-sac, pull up, park and access the wrap-around deck, and plan to take in the views of the lake, while sitting in one of the Adirondack chairs or enjoying the glider. The peace & quiet will help you re-charge. The living room w/ cathedral ceiling has 2 sets of sliding glass doors bringing in loads of light & opening onto the deck w/ plenty of room for grilling steaks, hamburgers or hot dogs or just "hanging out" while sipping morning coffee or an adult beverage at the end of the day! There are 2 spacious bedrooms + full bath on this level, plus a DR adjoining the living room and a "pass through" counter from the galley kitchen. Upstairs is a huge loft bedroom, w/ lots of storage. On the basement level, there is a laundry room & lots of storage space. The best part is the game room where you can enjoy a competitive game of darts or a round or two of pool or billiards. This room opens through sliding glass doors to a patio area. Once outside, follow the stairs down to the waterfront, and choose to sit on the wood bench or take a chair to the dock and cast your line into the lake to catch that elusive fish! This property is located on the Maine-New Hampshire border and within fifteen minutes of an 18-hole golf course, restaurants, supermarkets and access to the highway leading to North Conway and the White Mountains or south to Portsmouth and ocean beaches. Built in the 1970s, this property invites you to add your own upgrades & make it truly yours for yr 'rd living or vacation getaway.
