23 Abbey LaneMeredith, NH 03253Price: $699,000

Twenty-one years ago the original owners chose this exact corner at Meredith Bay Village because it backs directly into the woods, then custom-built it with the developer and have kept improving the home ever since. This is the only unit in the complex with the screen porch fully converted to year-round conditioned space - granite-capped knee wall, the original sliding glass removed, HVAC supply and return, and a real insulated exterior door with storm and screen. Step from that 12-foot cathedral-ceiling sun room straight out onto a private wood deck looking into mature trees and a flowering crabapple. The kitchen is granite with a custom-chosen island the owners specified instead of the builder's standard upgrade, full Bosch and Kenmore LG appliance package, and direct sight lines into the sun room. Quartz primary-bath vanity, oak hardwood floors, a separate den with its own exterior door, a 72-inch jet tub upgraded from the builder's original spec, and a free-standing gas hearth for cold Lakes Region nights. Propane forced hot air and central air year-round; 200-amp service with circuit breakers; NFPA-13 fire sprinklered throughout - uncommon at this price point. The HOA re-insulated all units in the complex, a community-funded efficiency upgrade that benefits the new owner from day one. 2,007 finished square feet above grade plus a 1,264 square-foot unfinished basement ready for the next chapter. Two bedrooms, two-and-a-half baths, attached framed one-car garage, private wood deck, and separate open porch. Ideal for buyers ready to trade big-house maintenance for low-maintenance living in a 55+ community where outside maintenance is handled. Five minutes to downtown Meredith - Mill Falls Marketplace, restaurants, the Lake Winnipesaukee shoreline. Route 3 at the doorstep, I-93 about twenty minutes. The property reflects twenty-one years of careful ownership.
