Summary:
Nestled in the Lakes Region, our charming 19th-century home offers a unique getaway. Imagine unwinding amidst farms and hiking trails, with Lake Winnipesaukee and the majestic Castle in the Clouds just minutes away.
The Space:
Welcome to Ambrose House, a lovingly restored historic residence brimming with charm and timeless appeal. Perfectly positioned next to the iconic Castle in the Clouds and just moments from Lake Winnipesaukee, this home offers a serene escape with easy access to aquatic adventures, hiking trails, and the vibrant towns of Wolfeboro and Meredith—both only 20 minutes away.
As you arrive, you're greeted by warm wood beams, rich floors, and thoughtfully curated vintage touches. The centerpiece of the kitchen is an antique cooktop stove—a nostalgic nod to the past—paired seamlessly with modern appliances. The home features two distinct living areas, each with its own personality and comfort.
Curl up with a book in the master bedroom’s private library, challenge each other to games and puzzles stored beneath the living room TV, or keep the kids entertained with play kitchen sets and toys on the sunny enclosed porch.
The main level is a hub for gathering:
A fully equipped kitchen and dining area,
A cozy decorative propane stove,
Mini-split A/C for year-round comfort,
A charming tea and coffee nook,
And a dedicated office space just off the kitchen with a desk and printer—ideal for working remotely.
Two bedrooms are located on the lower level, one with a queen bed and another with a double and alongside the inviting “purple room”, where exposed beams and leather seating make for a perfect reading or relaxation spot. You'll also find a separate laundry area, a full bathroom, and a convenient half bath.
Upstairs, the primary bedroom features a queen bed and sweeping views of the neighboring farm. Nearby is a whimsical twin bedroom, creating a peaceful retreat for families or friends. All bedrooms are equipped with ultra-quiet window A/C units to ensure restful sleep, even during the warmest months.
Outdoors, enjoy a variety of activities:
A dedicated fire pit on the back lawn for evening s’mores and stargazing,
Lawn games stored in the barn,
A picnic table for al fresco dining,
A fenced-in perennial garden ideal for grilling or enjoying your morning coffee,
And a wooded area nearby that’s great for light exploration or a quiet nature break.
A nearby historic cemetery dating back to the Revolutionary War adds a unique connection to the region's past.
