Home Information
Nestled on the picturesque Locke’s Island on Lake Winnipesaukee, this charming camp embodies the historic essence of lakeside living. After a tree sadly crushed the original house, the homeowners were determined to rebuild in a way that honored the lake’s timeless style. They thoughtfully incorporated materials from the original house throughout the interior, creating a unique blend of old and new.
To evoke the classic feel, the house features intricate gable end details and a traditional porch railing. The extended porch offers stunning southwestern views, and with the addition of storm windows, it can be enjoyed comfortably in both spring and fall. The second story, complete with a balcony, enhances the home’s aesthetic appeal.
Inside, the kitchen boasts a natural-edged walnut breakfast bar complemented by skirting made from the old siding of the original bunkhouse. The bathroom showcases a salvaged Queen-Anne- style window and the camp’s original front door. By adhering to the traditional elements and repurposing materials, this house is built to stand the test of time.
FROM THE BUILDER:
"This charming camp is a testament to the resilience and vision of its homeowners. After a tree sadly crushed the original house, we were entrusted with the task of rebuilding a home that honors the lake’s timeless style while incorporating modern comforts. We meticulously salvaged materials from the original house, weaving them into the new structure to create a seamless blend of old and new.
The addition of a second story, complete with a balcony, enhances the home’s aesthetic appeal and provides additional living space. This feature not only adds to the visual charm but also offers a cozy spot to take in the surrounding views.
This home is not just a structure; it is a tribute to the lake’s enduring charm and the homeowners' dedication to preserving its legacy."
